7/16 REGULAR CLASS MEETING

There will be only Two (2) case Studies. I did not feel that I was giving you enough time to do the third case study so I removed it from the Discussion Forum. Sorry if I disappointed you, but I thought you could put the time to better use on your final presentation and other work. Thanks for understanding this last minute change. The value of the case study writing projects will be the same, but will be based on two case studies instead of three.

Pay careful attention to dates of journal entries and case studies. Most of your grade will be based on the evidence you provide with your journal entries and the critical thinking / writing of your case studies.

Be complete and descriptive. Write a good narrative of everything that you observe at your site. If you are inactive in your site for a week, go ahead and say so in your journal entry, but if you are doing other internship activities, be sure to mention everything in your journal entry.

The discussion forum is like an Internship diary for the course. At the end of the course everything you have written will be transferred from the forum to your portfolio. The more complete your postings, the better for you portfolio and grade.

In your Case Studies, reflect carefully on the topic. Relate all the issues (even those those you would never support) and present your most intellectual arguments for how you would resolve the conflict. (all arguments, moral, ethical, practical, religious, should be grounded in logic and considered in the context of our times and our country)
