Syllabus Analysis

The leadership project in course EL-7235, Workforce and Economic Development consisted of identifying a problem, trend, issue or innovation related to the workforce and economic development that affects community colleges. The problem, trend, issue or innovation was to be discussed in detailed, connecting to theory, policy and or practice used in the community college setting to address the selected topic. In addition, conducting a comprehensive review of literature concerning the topic and enhancing the review of literature with field research at a community college were included. Moreover, a presentation of the problem, trend, issue, or innovation research combined with the theory, policy, or findings on how research dealt

Is there ever an instance when a M.Ed. cohort student does not have to take EDUC 635? I have had 2 students, 1 reading and 1 C&I, call to ask if they need to take 635. The C&I student said his professor talked about 630 being different for those taking 635 and those not. The reading student said 635 did not show on her advising sheet, which it does on all the advising sheets I have. The first time I was asked the question, I assumed there was some confusion with the professor, but when I got the same question twice in 2 days it made me wonder if I had missed something.

In order to gain a better understanding of the role of a good syllabus in teaching, I present my critique of the syllabus of the course SOWK 732: Social work practice with organization and communities. Before starting the critique of the syllabus, it is necessary to review the purpose and characteristics of a syllabus. A syllabus is not only a contract between the instructor and students (Step to a good syllabus, n.d.; Cullen, 2013), but also an attempt to improve the learner-centered academic experience. With these purposes, I consider a good syllabus as one of the basic communication channels between the instructor and students. Thus, this communication channel should be clear, specific, and informative in the expectations, objectives, and

EDSE 657 is very important and valuable course. Through the course, I learn many important topics such as helping uncommunicative children, teaching multicultural books, learning about the development of the brain and how to promote early literacy in the classroom.

The purpose of equal themes is to expose students to similar topics throughout their day to enhance reading comprehension. The students would be reading material that contains similar content vocabulary, and the repetition of such can enhance learning. The purpose of different content for each of the classes is so that students develop skills that will help them link concepts and content together from different sources. This is essential in reading comprehension because what students learn in one class will become the background knowledge that will help them comprehend what they read in the other classes. The goal is to have students develop the skills necessary to integrate what they learn in each class and to synthesize their knowledge through well written assays or laboratory proposals and reports. When students develop tools to organize information in one class, or when they come up or learn reading or writing strategies in another, they will be able to transfer such strategies to every class they take throughout their education. Such strategies can help students improve in their reading and writing scores that currently show a negative achievement trend, without neglecting the improvement of science

Week two of my classroom handbook will be of the topic problem solving skills used during conflict in the classroom. Kaiser and Rasminsky suggest a five step process that will effectively teach children at the early childhood level problem solving skills to last a life time. I will go over each step and then provide an example of what this process might look like in a classroom.

My understanding of a Syllabus, it is a document "that outlines a course policies," with all applicable knowledge in preparation for success in the course. (Eng. 111-805 Syllabus, pg1)

In the beginning, I felt as this English course was just another typical course with the purpose of allowing students to write more essays without the use of creativity and acuity. However, as I ventured deep into the course, I found my original opinion to be biased. Throughout my spiritual journey in ENGL 1304, I not only learned many concepts and new ideas along the way, but I was also able to connect with all my readings. From researching my online sources to constructing a coherent argument, I grasp the process of communicating my voice for each assignment through careful observation and visualization. As a result, I was able to write my essays in a more personal manner. It also led me to stray away from the concept of “just writing anything

A syllabus is something very important in every class. You must read over it, and keep it close to you when referring to all class assignments. I find myself looking over a syllabus quite frequently in the first few weeks of class and highlighting what I feel to be important. While reviewing the syllabus for our honors English course, I found a number of things I feel I should highlight and keep in my mind at all times. The first one being, no book.This a huge advantage as books can be quite costly. I find myself to be a very organized individual who at times can become quite anxious if things are not in order. Therefore, I find great appreciation in the fact that all modules as well as weekly assignments are broken down for you to see. Continuing

This course is a new experience for me and it has changed my view of math class. Precalculus so far to me is the hardest class to understand and succeed. However, previous courses have taught me how to use my time wisely and use resources I am given to learn. Taking college classes includes more effort in doing work, listening, and understanding. Deciding to try Dual Credit math was one of the best decisions to have as part of my schedule. These prestigious courses have helped me see life as a college student and the expectations needed to be met.

In my opinion the general education courses are a very important part of a college student development. When a student starts the college process, he or she is exposed to many different areas of education (general education courses). With these courses the student receives a scope of basic knowledge and skills that will provide a framework for his development in any other areas of study, helping him be more successful in the rest of the program.

When reflecting on what I have learned in my general education courses, it is tough to know where to begin. After moving overseas, my first anthropology course initially comes to mind. Even though I am now an anthropology major, when the class was taken, I was studying under another major. Anthropology has enhanced my communication skills in that it has taught me to suspend my own pre-misconceptions and to look at and accept other cultures with a more open mind. Relative culturalism can be described as “A moral stance that requires anthropologists to suspend moral and ethical judgments when interacting with a culture different from their own” (Nowak & Laird, 2010). This has the advantage of setting aside one’s predispositions and allows for

The first useful information I seen on page two of the syllabus was no missed assignments will be accepted .That tell me I need to stay up on my assignment and not to wait until the last minute to turn in work. This information will keep me current on homework deadlines. The next thing that stuck out to me is the grading point system. This tool allows students to track their grades the whole semester. This will keep you in the loop with your assignments, and your professor. The next one Is the study sheet tip on page 5 that clearly states that if you follow the study sheet you will be ok during assignments and test.

I’ve learned a lot of useful tips from this semester in ENG 201. English has never been my strong suit nor has it been my favorite class. However this college course has changed my point of view of the subject. Prior coming into college I viewed English as a useless class because I’ve already knew the basics: how to talk, read and write essays. Today I view English as an important class. It helped me in other courses that involved writing, such as World Civilization and Communications, because it allowed me to practice my skills. In my world civilization exams I had to write essays. This course helped me write an impactful essay. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that almost all of my exam scores were in the 90s, usually I do poorly in the
