Participate in class activities, including planning, group efforts, and evaluation throughout the course. Complete a self-diagnosis of needs related to the course content and prepare a learning contract designed to help you meet those needs. Read the text and other materials and be prepared to discuss issues via the computer-mediated experience. In addition, be prepared to make a 10-15 minute presentation of your findings to the class. Evaluation and feedback are integral parts of any learning semester whether a semester-long course, an intensive summer experience, or a personal learning endeavor.
Evaluation is a tool for measuring personal progress toward individual or course goals.
In addition, Elmira College requires that grades be established as marks for transcripts and degree completion requirements. Interaction and feedback will be ongoing and an integral part of the learning experience in the classroom setting, in the computer-mediated dialogue, and in the written comments for work handed in to be assessed. It is our hope that this ongoing evaluation and feedback process will greatly enhance the learning experience for both the students and instructor.
