History – Dr. Bibus

1.       WCJC’s form – Start that around

·         Sign your name

·         Print your name – Why?

2.       QEP – Request of Tracy Emmons, the Director of Instructional Assessment, QEP Coordinator

Please read to students during all classes on Monday, August 27th and Tuesday, August 28th.

In case you haven’t heard, WCJC is starting a movement to give students the tools to:

CHOOSE the correct major,

CONNECT with helpful people at the college,

and COMPLETE your degree or transfer faster!

The name of this movement is WCJC’s QEP (Quality Enhancement Plan) Destination Bound:  Choose. Connect. Complete.   To find out more see the WCJC Homepage. 

 

3.       Plus the idea of success as requiring people to be “intentional”
In cognition, some people talk about success as metacognition – “thinking about thinking”
In the social sciences such as history, some people (including me) talk about success as good “habits” about thinking

4.       Next class day

o   Seating chart  - so sit where you want to be, but do not sit next your best buddy

o   Pencil

o   Scantron

5.       MY form – Your course plan  It looks like the List of Due Dates

·         List of Due Dates - What you keep and what I recommend your write down what assignments you marked
http://www.cjbibus.com/HIST_1301_F2F_Fall_2018_CRN10879_ListofDueDates.pdf

·         What you write on and return to me today or—if you need more time—the next class day.

Do I really have to write? The Department also requires that instructors’ courses consist of a minimum of 25% written assignments. With 25% specific written work, you must do some written assignments—or—only want a C for the course and always make 100% on each objective assignment (a risky plan).

12.   Working through your plan together

If time, history is a social science but some people label it as one of the liberal arts. What’s that?
