  Homework Policy

 

The majority of the work outside of class is to prepare and be ready for class discussion.  The textbook section should be read and reflected on before the class in order to facilitate understanding of the presented material.  In college, the majority of learning takes place outside of the classroom, and students need to be prepared for this transition.  Occasional worksheets reinforce and give an opportunity to practice concepts. The study guide allows the student to test learning before the test in class. Writing on current research allows students to explore a topic outside of class and relate it to the body of knowledge and to further reninforce learning by reflecting on what meaning this has to their life.
