All correspondence must be conducted via NSU's E-Mail facility. The class consists of a mandatory SCIS Cluster session, synchronous ECR sessions, and asynchronous assignments. Electronic Classroom sessions will be conducted via NSU's Placeware system. See the course information page for links to the Placeware classroom, tutorial and schedule. The student will be required to complete four, high quality, research papers, two discussion questions, three annotated bibliographies and to critically comment on one annotated bibliography.
All work is considered individual effort.
Collaborative work may be undertaken only when specifically approved by the instructor. Each paper will be an evaluation, study or research effort on a combination of a scenario and a topic from the lists below. Each paper must be a stand-alone effort and not represent a cascading development of one theme. Although students are encouraged to share ideas, research sources, materials and findings, all papers must be individual work. A scenario will be paired with a topical area to provide the central theme for a paper.
