EDU221AcademicExpectationsActivity

Homework is to read "Academic Expectations" and "Attitudinal Expectations" and make a list of noteworthy items. Your list might include things that have changed since you read them in EDU 101 (if you had Dr. Theresa for EDU 101), things that surprised you, things that you like, things that you don't like, things you found interesting, or things that make you nervous.

In class, you will be assigned to a team and be assigned a role in that team:

Teams: Environment, Experience, Motivation, Meaning Roles: Scribe, Liaison/Reporter, Encourager, Equalizer

Teams will have discussion about the two expectations lists. The Equalizer will make sure that everyone contributes equally to the discussion, the Scribe will write down the compiled thoughts of the team -- the results of the conversation, not the details, the Encourager will do just that, and the Liaison will relay any questions or concerns of the group to the Facilitator (Dr. Theresa) and will also be the one to report the group's results.

At the end of the time period, the Reporter will divide the team's report into 4 sections of equal proportion.


 * One team will report 1/4th of their results, the other three teams will listen and then look at their list and check off any items that are of a similar nature on their list.
 * The next team will report 1/4th of their results, minus any checked items that might be contained in that quarter (no combining of remaining unchecked items). The other three teams will listen and then look at their list and check off any items that are of a similar nature on their list.
 * The third team will do the same as the second team. The other three teams will listen and then look at their list and check off any items that are of a similar nature on their list.
 * The last team will report all unchecked items. The other three teams will listen and then look at their list and check off any items that are of a similar nature on their list.
 * The third team will report all unchecked items remaining on their list.
 * The second team will report all unchecked items remaining on their list.
 * The first team will report all unchecked items remaining on their list.
 * The class as a whole will discuss any new ideas that came to mind during the team presentations.
