REPORT ON RECERTIFICATION OF W COURSE: AGSC 384
We recommend that AGSC 384, Clinical Professional Experience in AGSC, be certified as a writing-intensive (W) course for the next four academic years (1/08 to 1/13). We have reviewed the syllabus and have determined that the course meets or exceeds the following criteria:
1. Percentage of final grade based on writing quality (40%)
2. Course content appropriate to the major
3. Total number of words (4000+)
4. Instructor to student ratio for one section: 1:20
During the semester students compile a 2000-4000 word personal/professional digital portfolio that includes, among other things, a vita or resume, a professional profile, an autobiography, interviews with practicing teachers, classroom observation write-ups, and a profile of an adolescent learner who represents future students. Students receive feedback on written drafts then rewrite before the final draft is due. Class discussions are the primary method of instruction, and students are provided examples of excellent work.
No significant changes have been made since original certification was granted.
