Lots to Do!

Call to Action Reflection

Your post-flection (the concept formerly known as reflection) is due before Tuesday as a post of 150-200 words on your blog.

What did you learn about the value of service as a learning experience through your community
engagement activity on Call to Action Day? In what way did the activity give you opportunities to develop meaningful community with your community partner organization?

For a reminder of the specific expectations for this post or other posts that you are required to complete for the semester, you can review them on the Meta-Blog here.

Research Project

The next blog post is due following the November 3rd Freshman Research Conference, which begs the question, what is the research we are going to do and present at the conference?! As this is a seminar on how we learn, we are going to explore, as a class, the scholarship on cooperative research and/or cooperative learning.

For Tuesday's class, you will work with your partner to find two on-line articles (per team) that describe research related to cooperative learning or cooperative research practices at the college level. If you find something related to but not exactly on the topic that you think might be worth considering, you may include it. You must write a short summary (precise) of each article. Send the links to the articles along with your summaries to me before class on Tuesday.

Midterm Exam

Finally, we have a midterm exam on Thursday of next week. On Tuesday, we will review what you are expected to know for the exam. Check now to see what you might be missing from your notes. The class blog is a good place to review what we have covered so far, including links to videos like the one we watched today.
