HERE WE GO!


== Course Materials Sprint ==
=== Nassau Community College ===
=== June 3-5, 2018 ===
'''Overview:''' The overall goal of this project is to make a group of complete courses available to other faculty.  This course sprint is part of that effort, and our intention is to emphasize activities that are more difficult to achieve when we are working individually.


'''Goals:'''
# Review, critique, and improve syllabi for each course with particular focus on learning outcomes, course topics, and approach to learning
# Review, critique and improve selected materials from each course (lectures, learning activities, assessments, etc)
# Review and improve structure for packaging and disseminating each course
# Review and improve approaches to learning evaluation
# Discuss potential for publication of results across institutions


'''Pre-work:'''
== 0. Overview ==
# Provide basic information about your course so that we can see how the set of courses relate to each other. You can do this by completing the template [https://docs.google.com/document/d/17kd8n3Ocerj1UhWdlS8h4tKlOMpcQRA5xUWHwHZ0t_Y/edit here]
# Make syllabus and materials available - We would like to have shared access to the current version of everyone’s course.  We’ll figure out the best platform for that once we have the basic information about all the courses requested above.
# Be prepared to provide a 25-30 minute guided tour of your course. Please include:
## What went well
## What you would change
## Lessons learned
# Have at least a draft syllabus
# Bring with you a brief overview of 2-3 key learning activities for course
## Provide one that works well and one or two that need improvement or need to be developed
## These could be materials already developed or activities that are needed
## Those who are still developing courses can present 2-3 activities that need to be developed

== 1. Learning Objectives ==
* ''objectives & prerequisites should be active, student-centered, specific, and measurable''
** ''the student will be able to...''
* ''for the entire course, and/or for FOSS-specific parts of the course''
* ''might include content & process skills''
* ''might consider all levels of Bloom's taxonomy''
== 2. Methods of Assessment ==
Each week, students are expected to post to their public blogs a 200-300 word response to the weekly reading assignment. In some cases, specific prompts may be given but in general the prompt is open-ended. Blog posts are assessed on the following scale:
* Exceptional: a blog post that is particularly insightful, thorough, or thought-provoking
* Satisfactory: a blog post that demonstrates that the student has read the articles, understands their main points, and can synthesize a response including personal insight
* Unsatisfactory: a blog post that demonstrates that the student has not read the articles, does not understand the main points, and/or is simply summarizing the readings but not relaying any personal insight
* Not submitted: when it's... ya know... "not submitted"
Students are also expected to attend and participate in all discussions of the reading assignments. Participation is assessed on the following scale:
* Exceptional: numerous contributions to the discussion that are particularly insightful, thorough, or thought-provoking
* Satisfactory:

Here is a link to the course I have been presenting/revising this Summer. I will definitely be presenting this again in Summer 2019 to an anticipated class of 30-40 students and may be presenting it as well in Spring 2019 depending on student demand.
== 4. Notes to Instructor ==
==== Note: ====
* ''Tips, suggestions, lessons learned (warnings)...''
This is a first run-through and I will be continuing to revise it and extend it both this Summer and over the next few months. I will also be adding issues to the issue tracker on what needs to change over the next few semesters.
