Purpose of the Course
| INLS
210-36
|
The teaching portfolio plus presentation may earn up to 50 points
distributed among 3-5 different pieces weighted as you think
appropriate.
The paper or project also can earn up to 50 points. If you wish to
combine the teaching portfolio with your project in some way and put all
your efforts into a bigger activity, that is possible as well.
This is a success-oriented class. I expect everyone to earn a P (pass)
demonstrating a Mastery level of knowledge and skill. This equates to a
total earned point range between 105-120 (out of a possible 150
points).
You will usually have some time during the class period for reading or
work on your various assignments.
The class will be divided into four groups for management and support
purposes. I will meet with each group frequently throughout the class and
will expect members of each group to share their work and provide
colleagial assistance to one another in order to produce the best work
possible.
An extensive reserve reading list is available
for you
with some annotations as to general topic if not obvious from the
title to help you select appropriately.

How-to-Do-It Manual for Planning and Designing Instructional Programs.
New York: Neal-Schuman, 1996.
A second book is highly recommended and has been recalled for reserve. If
the book is not available there are many copies of earlier editions in
Davis that will probably do equally well. I have also ordered a few
copies for INLS 308 which may be available to you if you wish to purchase
it.
McKeachie, Wilbert J. Teaching Tips; Strategies, Research,
and Theory

We will read the Laguardia et al book from cover to cover and selected
chapters from McKeachie.
