Letters are to be given to the module facilitator via electronic mail or hard-copy no later than one week after the module. Readings for this seminar will be based upon the specific modules selected by members. However, it is highly recommended that all members of the seminar complete the requirements on time. If you need course adaptations or accomodations because of a disability, please make an appointment with Mike as soon as possible. At any point in the semester if you encounter difficulty with the course or feel you could be performing at a higher level, consult with Mike.
Students experience difficulty in courses for a variety of reasons.
The ultimate success of this capstone seminar rests on the nature of the group discussions that are engaged. Every member of HRD 649 has responsibility for contributing to the seminar culture. The group will work to create an environment of respect and trust so that all members feel free to express their thoughts and feelings openly. Critiques of ideas are made in a constructive manner with the intent to develop greater understanding and ultimately more thoughtful, richer, and artfully written capstone papers. An informal environment, where humor and personal stories are welcome, will foster greater community and will enhance the learning experience.
