We will be discussing nearly all of these assigned readings in class, so print each on-line article and bring them with you. The program is Windows-based, and simple to use. While reviewing the contents of the tutorial is not required, students may find this materials will serve as a helpful review for the course contents. I strongly encourage students to work collaboratively as I believe that learning best occurs in social interactions with other learners. Also, the work demands for this course are particularly rigorous .
Special circumstances apply for research teams.
The same criteria will, however, be used to evaluate research team papers and the optional PDAs as for individuals' papers and PDAs. In the event that there are more than 25 students enrolled inthis section, students will be required to work in research teams. Individuals' scores and final grades will be based, in part,on this documentation. Students may also want to consider a cooperative reading strategy tocover the assigned reading materials. Obviously,all of this will require cooperation and willingness to meet outside of class to discuss the readings and work on writing assignments.
