Výukové metody
Students should come to class prepared, having done the readings for the day. Students should also be prepared to address the day’s topic/subject matter, answer questions, and engage their classmates and the instructor with regard to the course material as it intersects their life experiences in a thoughtful and respectful manner. To the point, we need you to be present and contributing to our class in ways that enhance the quality of our investigations collectively in this realm and that meaningfully assist in the development of this course community.
Metody hodnocení
As an addition to the traditional course expectations, students will do the assignments outlined on the standard syllabus as well as the following - Guided dialogues (students, working within smaller group configurations, will conduct 8 guided discussions related to the readings and weekly topics on a weekly basis (week 4 through 12). Each group will subsequently share the outcome of these discussions in contribution to the development of the specific following course discussions and general course discourse. - A group 2-page response paper will be submitted after each weekly discussion to synthesize the points each group specifically contributed to the weekly discussion. The grades from these assignments will factor into the course participation grade
