Course Activities

Faculty are encouraged to use a variety of instructional techniques to encour

age student learning. Research on learning shows that the straight lecture technique is not particularly effective. Lect

ure segments should be kept to a maximum of 20 minutes and be interspersed with other learning activities such as demonstrati

on, question and answer, class discussion, group learning projects, student presentations, etc. In order to meet the

needs of diverse learners faculty are encourage to supplement lectures with transparencies or PowerPoint. (Note: if not

assigned to a room already equipped with the technology portable teaching stations equipped with a laptop computer and proj

ection system are available from the library. Also, all classrooms have an Internet connection)

Faculty are encouraged to

incorporate use of the Internet in their assignments and projects. Students have ample access to the Internet in college labs

. Students also have ready access to all Microsoft Office software so they can be required to word process any work submitte

d, as well as develop PowerPoint presentations or Excel worksheets.

There are many types of projects that are excelle

nt learning activities for BUS 207 students. Some examples of projects that can be assigned to individuals or groups are:

Grading and Assessment

assessment measure that students in every section of BUS 207 must complete. Faculty may choose the methods by which

they will assess student learning. A statement pertaining to consequences or protocol for missed or incomplete work m

nt learning frequently. A midterm and final exam are not sufficient measures of student learning. Some exam

ples of assessment methods are:
