I am now working on my syllabus and I wanted to put forward 2 assignments and questions to see if they are applicable to the fall 3068 course. Also I have not found Caryn’s syllabus nor philosophy statement. Perhaps it did not get uploaded…

The first assignment is the observation paper that I have used for COM3102. I often use it as a first draft to the final paper. Allowing students through an observation report to better understand and experience various real life elements that can then be traced and researched through empirical research; the final paper. I have posted it under Activities.

My other “assignment” is the final exam as I have a preference to take home exams, which I believe give the students a lot more time to read the book and to write more. It is a good deal more work for the professor but I believe it does have a stronger impact in the student’s learning. I am posting my final exam from last year under assignments as well.

Let me know what you think and give me any feedback in shaping this semester’s syllabus.
