Spring 2019 Course Syllabi

Course Requirements: Grading is based on a standard college curve, where students earn a grade based upon the percent of total points possible. Drop quizzes may not be made up. There will be a one week grade period to make up any missed exams or assignments. Any missed exam/work not make up within that allotted time will be given a zero. It is the responsibility of the student to schedule make-up work during a date and time mutually convenient for the student and the instructor. Final letter grades are based on the following criteria: A - 89.5 - 100% of the total points B - 79.5 - <89.5% of the total points C - 69.5 - <79.5% of the total points D - 59.5 - <69.5% of the total points F - <59.5% of the total points Tentative Course Outline (Subject to Change): WEEK: Discussion Topic and Activities: Assignment/Readings: Week 1 T - Review syllabus, Questionnaire, Overview of the Class TH - Evidence based practice, research types, research in your classroom setting, collecting data and drawing conclusions, effective study strategies Read Chapter 1 for TH (week 1) Week 2 Brain development and influence on learning, Piaget, Vygotsky, language development Read Chapter 2 for T (week 2) Week 3 Personality development, self perception, peer relationships and interpersonal understandings, social cognition, moral and prosocial development Th – lecture, study guide Read Chapter 3 for T (week 3) Week 4 T - EXAM EXAM #1 (1-3) - T
