Thurs. Sept. 7, 2017: Determining Order

This was a rather interesting class. We discussed the place mats we created yesterday and came to some conclusions about student interest (likes and dislikes). The student then took charge and determined the order in which the course readings would be studied. The order they have chosen is listed below. What this means is that I will start with the first one and work my way through while meeting course objectives. In order to arrive at the list, students had to work together and discuss/argue their positions.
When we were finished, students were provided with a sheet to reinforce their understanding of course expectations. The sheet is due tomorrow by the start of class. I have pasted it below for those who are absent.

Reflection Questions to Determine Understanding of the Course

INSTRUCTIONS: Using the information provided in your course outline AND your active listening skills from the course introduction itself, answer all of the questions accurately and follow all submission expectations presented in the course outline. If a question asks you to be specific, it means you need to provide enough information that someone else can follow the steps (e.g.: “Tell me where you live. Be specific.” 2102 61^st Meadow Lake, SK S9X 1S1).
