Putting
It All Together 10% -
Weeks 14 and 15 (26 Nov-4
Dec, & 3-9 Dec) There are
three assignments in the Evaluation
unit.
They
must be completed by midnight, Sunday, of Week
15. Use the forum in
WebCT for Questions
for Instructor about
Evaluation
to ask me questions about anything related
to the Project. Use the forum for
Student
Resources
to post URLs to
links of interest to the entire
class. Post suggestions
about the way the course works in the
Suggestion
Box. Use the
Student
Lounge to
talk about whatever you like; it isn't
course-related. It's time to put closure to
this portion of your two-semester course. I want
you to summarize what you've learned. Then take some time to think
about the goals you want to pursue while getting
your college education, and the goals you want to
attain in your professional career upon completion
of your BSN. (In addition to posting these in Forum
18, you should print out a copy for yourself to
keep in your academic portfolio. You can refer back
to them from time to time and update them as
necessary.) Because evaluation of what we
do in practice is so terribly important, I want you
to evaluate how this course worked for you. And
that will include an evaluation of how I served
your learning needs as your instructor. Evaluation
Assignment A: Summary of What You Learned in This
Course This Semester, and
Self-Assessment/Evaluation of Your Participation in
the Course Part A: Review the course
objectives, and reflect on what you have done in
the learning activities for the semester. Go back
and reread the postings in the threaded-discussion
forums for Units 1 through 4, and the Course
Project. Be sure to review what you discovered (or
already knew) about your learning style. Write an essay (at least
500-600 words) explaining what you have learned
during this semester about yourself, about nursing,
about going to school, and about your evolving
career. How does what you have learned relate to
your forthcoming practice as a nurse with a BSN?
How has the process for your learning in this
course fit with your learning style. In retrospect,
would you have done anything differently this
semester? Part B: Evaluate your
participation in the course throughout the entire
semester. How did you contribute not only to your
own learning but to the learning of others? Did you
give this course "your all"--consistently--each
week? To what degree did you take a leadership role
in the discussions and assignments? What could you
have done differently? Post your essay in the forum
for Evaluation
A
(Learning Summary). Read the summaries of at
least two other classmates, and comment. Evaluation
Assignment B: Goals for your Education and Your
Professional Career Go back to the forum for
Assignment 2A in Unit Two to review what you wrote
about your goals for your baccalaureate education,
and to the forums for Assignments 3A, 3B and 3C in
Unit Three to review what you wrote about your
future nursing practice. In the forum for
Evaluation
B
(Goals), post a short
essay defining your goals for your education, as
well as for your professional career. Make your
goals feasible for yourself, and formulate them in
realistic terms. Then go back and read and
comment on each other's entries. Evaluation
Assignment C: Evaluation of the Course and the
Instructor (Wk
15): Note:
To be
valid, the evaluation must be submitted ONLY
during the 15th week of the course (I will not
accept evaluations submitted before the start of
the 15th week) . Be sure to
send me an email in WebCT
to let me know you submitted the course AND
instructor evaluations so that you can receive
credit. (You
will lose 5 points out of 100
if I don't receive a message from you that you've
submitted both evaluations.) The
evaluation is closed (12/10/01). Finally, use the forum for
Evaluation
C
(Suggestions for Course)
to publicly post and discuss any suggestions for
change in this course that you'd like to
make. Home | WebCT | Unit 1 | Unit 2 | Unit 3 | Unit 4 | Project | Evaluation | Site Map |
