AdditionalCommentsfromFacultyGroupDiscussion:
Felicia Tripp, Frances Fon and Sadie Ashraf reviewed and were in consultation with each
other in updating the course outline for PSCN 80. In closing the loop, Frances noted that the
10 minute mini-teach in is a great way to get students thinking about possible sites when
they do take PSCN 80. Sadie Ashraf concurred with the idea of creating a human
services resume and additionally having students participate in an informational
interview. Through our discussion we closed the loop.

AdditionalCommentsfromFacultyGroupDiscussion:
Felicia Tripp, Frances Fon and Sadie Ashraf reviewed and were in consultation with each other in
updating the course outline for PSCN 80. In closing the loop, Frances noted that the 10 minute
73
mini-teach in is a great way to get students thinking about possible sites when they do take
PSCN 80. Sadie Ashraf concurred with the idea of creating a human services resume and
additionally having students participate in an informational interview. Through our discussion
we closed the loop.
