The reflective
assignments may include various articles within different formats, e.g., HTML,
Adobe Reader, Web pages, etc. A goal of this course is to provide
individuals with the ability to access information from the Internet. The
delivery of this course content is very similar to a virtual classroom;
therefore, it is important to retrieve this information independently.
Printing documents from this Website is acceptable. However, if at all
possible try to read the documents directly from the Internet.Writing reflections requires the ability to identify the topic or thesis
statement of the article. Stay within the parameter of the thesis
statement. The reflection should not contain your opinions or broad
statements that are out of context. Generalized or rhetorical statements
should also be avoided. Complete the Article Reflection Document for each assignment and turn it in on the day that the reading assignment is listed.

Tusculum requires a strict adherence to APA guidelines
when writing papers; please consider this prior to submitting assignments. In
addition, please read the
Research Component
section within this website and use it as a guideline while writing
reflections/papers. It is very important to be objective during the reflective
process; however, it is also important to back up your reflective opinions/statements with research
from a recognized authority on the subject. The reflections will be discussed during the daily class meetings on the days they are listed. The reflections must be completed prior to the class discussion. This will be explained during our first class meeting. All reflections are due before the last day of class, i.e. prior to, or on the day before the last scheduled class meeting. The length of reflections may vary. It is more important to reflect using quality over quantity. |

Literacy in Science and Math (To be completed with PBL activities) One goal of Project/Problem Based Learning (PBL) activities is to integrate the literacy component within the instructional process. This may be accomplished by integrating a writing component using either the Science Lab Report or the Science Lab Report Template within the PBL exercises.
The haptics of writing is also important when considering Brain Based Learning. Because of this, student lab reports should be handwritten. Ruled paper should be used and a loose leaf notebook is ideal for collecting and storing students work. We will also use a Rubric to guide students while creating their Laboratory Reports.
The appropriate use of vocabulary is an important component of this course work. For Example, the "Analysis" section of the Rubric requires the use "vocabulary words" as a requirement for grading. Lists of grade level and subject specific vocabulary words may be found at the website of Iredell - Statesville Schools. |
