You will have a significant amount of reading and writing to do in this class. At least one reading will be assigned for each class. Where possible, the readings will be scanned in and available to you on the Internet in a password protected site. Much of the work of the course consists of reading and reflecting on that reading in order for you to take ownership of the concepts. Your reflection will be through a portfolio.
Other assignments include a preliminary organization paper, a group presentation, and a final reflection paper. Detail for each assignment is provided through the assignments page. The weight of the course requirements is as follows:
- 10% - Assign. 1 - Organization Paper
- 50% - Assign. 2 - Portfolio
- 15% - Assign. 3 - Group Presentation
- 10% - Assign. 4 - Reflection Paper
- 15% - Class Participation
Class participation means attending all classes or notifying me if you are unavoidably absent. It also means contributing to class and group discussions and activities.
My expectation is that you will all do satisfactory graduate level work, recognized in this university by a grade of P. If your work falls below that level, I will let you know. Some of you will do outstanding work considerably above the expected level and I'll let you know this as well.
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has had a student-administered honor system and judicial system for over 100 years. Because academic honesty and the development and nurturing of trust and trustworthiness are important to all of us as individuals, and are encouraged and promoted by the honor system, this is a most significant University tradition. The system is the responsibility of students and is regulated and governed by them, but faculty share the responsibility and readily commit to its ideals. If students in this class have questions about their responsibility under the honor code, please bring them to me or consult with the Office of the Dean of Students or the Instruments of Student Judicial Governance. This document contains all policies and procedures pertaining to the student honor system. The Honor Code is, as always, in effect in this course.
