Teaching Methods and Expectations
This course will employ multiple methods to assist you in accomplishing the
course objectives listed above. These methods include inquiry-based
investigations, participation in individual, small group, and large group problem
based lessons, student led and instructor led presentations. During a typical class
2
period I will begin with a lecture on course content and will encourage questions
and may ask questions of the class. I believe very strongly that all learning
occurs within the context of relationships, and my goal is to create, with your
support, a classroom community in which everyone contributes and everyone’s
ideas are respected and valued. Please do not be afraid to speak up! In order for
you to maximize class time, it is imperative that you read the assigned materials
prior to class so you are able to engage in discussions and group work. Because
many of the concepts presented in the course are politically and emotionally
charged, we will spend the first several class sessions developing and discussing
ground rules for communication, which may have to be refined as the semester
progresses.
If you experience difficulty with any of the assignments or have any other issues
that come up during the semester, please come see me as early as possible.

1. Journal Entries (10 @ 10 pts = 100 pts)** Every week, students will be asked to
reflect on a question posted in Blackboard taken from the assigned Sensoy &
DiAngelo text. Groups of students may answer different questions and a portion
of each class time will be spent discussing the questions answered by each group.
I expect that each of you come to class prepared to discuss your assigned
question, in addition to posting your response in Blackboard. Journal entries do
not have to follow APA format, however, I expect them to be well written with
no grammar or spelling errors. Points will be deducted for grammar/spelling
errors. **Graduate students will be required to respond to additional journal prompts.
2. Group Project (50 pts). Groups of students will select a class topic that is of
interest to them (attachment, aggression, altruism, gender, etc). Each group will
be required to watch a film and/or read an article (selected by me) on the topic
they have selected and prepare a presentation for the class. Information from the
textbooks, including theory and research, must be integrated into your
presentation. At least two theoretical framework, the Sensoy and DiAngelo book,
and two research studies (from the Shaffer text) must be used to make sense of
your topic and how it was presented in the film/reading. The goal of this
assignment is for you, and your fellow students, to think critically about your
topic in a very applied way. Presentations should be engaging and should utilize
multiple methods of presentation (video, music, lecture, drama, etc.) to help
participants gain a deeper understanding of the topic. Guidelines for this
assignment are posted on Blackboard.
3. Midterm Exam. (50 pts) The midterm exam will be comprised of multiple choice
and fill in the blank questions. It will cover information from the first part of the
course up to the midterm.
4. Final Exam. (50 pts) The final exam will be comprised multiple choice and fill in
the blank questions. It will cover information from the second part of the course
(midterm-final).
5. Final Paper. **(50 points) Because many students in this class are seniors who are
preparing to graduate and enter the “real world”, the purpose of this paper is for
you to use the concepts and theories covered in the course and apply them to the
career that you wish to have upon graduation. If you are still unsure of what you
would like to do, this paper is the perfect opportunity for you to explore some of
your options! Guidelines for the completion of the paper are posted on
Blackboard and will be reviewed in class. This assignment must be turned in
via Blackboard and uploaded to Taskstream. **Graduate students will have
additional requirements.
4
Both the midterm and final will be given via Blackboard. It is not acceptable for students
to complete exams together. This is considered cheating.
Specific information about each assignment can be found on the CFD 560 Blackboard
site (http://courses.sdsu.edu) under the “Assignments” tab. Make sure to read
directions thoroughly before completing assignments, and adhere to all due dates
outlined on the syllabus.
Your grade will be based on the completion of the requirements above.
