Article Reviews 20%: Students will be required to identify and review four (4) journal articles directly related to the stated goals and objective of the course. The student will select four different objectives from those listed above as topics for the articles for review. Reviews must be from 200 to 300 words and must demonstrate appropriate writing skills. The source of the article reviewed MUST be cited completely and the objective addressed must be identified. Reviews must be posted in the online component of the course for discussion. Students are encouraged to respond to reviews in the threaded discussion.
Participation 15%: All students must contribute to discussions on article reviews. All students must be active participants in class activities. Students may not use computers for non-class activities while class is in session. The use of computers for playing games, chatting, e-mail, or working on assignments or discussions in other on-line courses is prohibited and will result in a reduction in participation credit. Students must be in attendance to earn participation credit.
Quizzes 15%: A number of quizzes will be given throughout the course. These quizzes will likely be taken in the on-line component of the course.
Activities 20%: Students will participate in a number of activities designed to build skills and understanding related to the stated course objectives. Details of each activity will be provided in class or posted on-line.
Technical Reflection 15%: Each student will author a one page reflection on each activity. This will be the students opportunity to make notes regarding the activity for future reference.
Portfolio 15%: Each student will compile a portfolio containing copies of article reviews, reflection papers, and any other work produced in this class. Materials should be in a form suitable for inclusion in the students professional portfolio.
Assignments MUST be completed and submitted by due date. Full credit cannot be earned by late or incomplete assignments. 10 points will be deducted for each class day an assignment is late.
