Style of Learning and Teaching
There will be a fair amount of group work in this class. Students will learn how to work in a
group, master a number of different roles within a group as well as lead a group. Effort will be
highly regarded throughout every assignment and evaluation during the course of this class. Each
student will also be responsible for independent work, including the completion of written
assignments, reading assignments and preparation for oral presenting.
There will be a number of different teaching aids used in this class. I will be lecturing, using an
overhead projector, using computers, using videos, and we will observe a number of different
media in action.
***Computers will be used extensively in this course***
Where can I use a computer to complete assignments?
