Response1 to Jurado Initial

I agree with the statement, “The writing of objectives is not merely a mechanical task but a synthesizing process… the mutual setting of objectives and goals is considered by many educators to be the initial, most important consideration in education process.

Purpose of Objectives and Goals

Objectives are goal directed statements that are used to lead the learner in the appropriate direction to reach the intended goals. The objectives are the intended information that is being delivered to the learners. The objectives are derived from the skills that will be taught to the learner and return demonstrate. The students should be able to carry out the intended task and be able to reach the expected goals (Mito, Koyama, Katahira, Yamaguchi, Kawamorita, Uemura, & Teshima, 2011).

Our objectives are congruent with our strategies of learning. Although goals and objectives are used interchangeably there construction differs drastically. The objectives are measurements of the progress that determines the outcome of the goal we have set of the learning (Grace, & Perry, 2013). Goals are directive actions that are set. In the realm of education it is important to have these goals and objectives as a means to measure the teaching that has been delivered. The goals have a time frame that is to be reached whereas our objectives are the destined target that is measurable. In education it is so important that the learner has a definitive way to measure if the goals have been met. Setting pertinent objectives are very important since it allows the educator to see where the learner may be lacking but just the same it is indicative of showing achievement and success.

Respond#2 Swan’s Initial Post

I agree with the following statement: “The writing of objectives is not merely a mechanical task, but a synthesizing process…the mutual setting of objectives and goals is considered by many educators to be the initial, most important consideration in the education process.” The reason I agree with the statement is because the purpose of objectives is to have a goal, they describe what the students need to know or achieve to successfully pass the course and meet the desired learning outcomes (De Young, 2014). The reason course objectives should be considered first is because it allows the educator to design the curriculum around the objectives, which means that all course content, educational materials, and teaching strategies used will focus on providing the learners with the knowledge and skills they will need to meet the course objectives and achieve the desired learning outcomes. When educators focus on course content and teaching strategies or activities before deciding what the course objectives and learning outcomes should be, the end result is a course where instructional methods and assessments focus on knowledge acquisition rather than higher learning outcomes such as the application of the acquired knowledge and skills (critical thinking) (McDonald, 2014). It is for this reason that during curriculum development, learning objectives and outcomes should be the first step. The objectives need to state the criteria for achievement, be realistic and attainable within the given time frame, and they must by measurable so that when the course and students are evaluated, the educators can determine if the objectives are appropriate or if the y need to be revised along with the curriculum (Iwasiw, 2015).

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

• Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
• Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
• One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
• I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

Weekly Participation

• Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
• In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
• Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
• Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

APA Format and Writing Quality

• Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
• Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
• I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

Use of Direct Quotes

• I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
• As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
• It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

 

LopesWrite Policy

• For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
• Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
• Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
• Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

Late Policy

• The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
• Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
• If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
• I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
• As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

Communication

• Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: 
  • Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
  • Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
