Student learning goals
General method of instruction
The course will use a lecture discussion format with student lead discussions taking a significant part of each session.
We will also use the ePost online discussion boards for supplemental weekly discussions, peer help and general course communication.
Students will select, or be assigned, a peer review partner to evaluate and offer feedback on all course module projects. The goal is to provide rapid feedback and support. Peer pairs will be encouraged to implement IM (Windows Live Messenger) as well as email and ePost to facilitate this communication.
