COURSE ASSESSMENT
Multimedia Assignments: (You can choose one)
- Movie on the issue you choose: You are expected to prepare a 10 mins movie on the inequalities in schooling and society. You can use copy-right free material or shoot your own movie. It should have a main theme and a main argument. It should reflect a critical perspective.
- International Comparison Poster: You will research the educational system of two countries: primary, secondary and tertiary. I expect your poster to include basic demographic information about the educational system (approximately what proportion of the population is enrolled at the different levels? Is the system stratified by gender, ethnicity, religion or some other factor? How widely available is public education, and how do the expectations of who goes to school and what is covered there differ from each other?). Especially try to look at these systems from the critical perspective.
- Critical Essay: Each student will be expected to prepare one critical essay, based on the primary sections of the class which should be 3 pages long, 1.5 spaced. The review essay should identify a point of view or perspective that students take away from the readings in that section. The essay should develop this theme with appropriate cited references to the text and other resources that support your point of view; it should not become a summary of the readings.
- Leading class discussions: Each class member will be assigned to a theme based on the course calendar. You will be responsible for initiating and leading class discussion for that day. The preparation of a single sheet of discussion questions or some other visual aid to engage the class (Power Point, poster, etc.) is encouraged. Presentations should help engage the class in a lively discussion of the readings.
- Seminar Paper: You are expected to write a 15 pages long paper examining a related research topic. Your paper will be evaluated on cohesiveness, clarity, rational lines of argument, evenhandedness (both sides of issue) and appropriate use of the English language. You will be given a rubric regarding the expectations and scoring.
