3 Association. Alternatively, occasional users might find the information available online at sufficient for their purposes. The website has tutorials and other information- well worth exploring! One of the best other free APA Style Documentation Resources online is, Free Course Guide EDH 7225 Curric Dev Higher Ed See USF library course guides and course BBD space Student Expectations, Requirements and Assessment: See Course Calendar for Approximate Due Dates Active Participation - 10% (10 pts) This maximum 10 pts accounts for 10% of the final grade and includes: participation in learning activities, and contribution to discussions (online and in class). As doctoral students in a premiere research institution, course learners are expected to have read the assigned material prior to coming to class and be ready to discuss it during the class session. Bringing a list of questions about the course readings is entirely appropriate. Please note this is not a lecture course. Instead, it is facilitated using a seminar style in which several instructional forms appear: much whole class discussion, online discussion (USF Blackboard), brief presentations, case studies, simulations, problem solving, debates, online reading (within USF Blackboard), online activities, and/or other varied small group, large group and individual activities. Pre/Post Experience Reflective Statement Regarding Interview - 30% (30 pts) Due 3rd week and 7th week As part of this course learners will interview a community college, college or university faculty member or administrator about their curriculum perspective (or philosophy). Collaboratively our class will discuss what this means, and how to best identify the true beliefs and practices of the individuals who will be interviewed. At this time, this activity is not considered research, will not be published, and does not require IRB approval. However, all participants will be notified of any potential risks and asked to sign a consent form consistent with ethical best practice of informed consent. Course learners will hand in a pre/post reflective essay about their interview activity. Please do NOT hand in a transcript of the interview! Instead, what is required is a high level reflection in the form of an academic paper. It should demonstrate what you as a student in this Curriculum Development in Higher Education course learned about the course subject. For instance you should include answers to most of these questions, and others, as seem appropriate to your experience: What insights did you gain? What did you expect and not expect, and why or why not? What did your interviewee say which surprised you, and why? How does the literature you have been reading connect with this interview? Which curriculum theories did you see evidence of in the interviewee s responses? What other issues do you see evidence of the interview responses? How will this experience change or not change your practices and philosophy? What will you do the same or differently because of the experience? What does the experience mean for your professional growth? EDH /5/2010 Author: Kathleenking@usf.edu p. 3

4 You may include SHORT excerpts of the interviewee responses to clarify your discussion or interpretation. However still abide by the 5% direct quotation limit listed later in this document (See Dr. Kathy King s Plagiarism and Paraphrasing Policy below.) These papers should be a minimum 4-8 pages, double spaced (not inclusive of the cover page and reference page). Please be sure to write the reflective essay in full narrative form (not bullet points of lists), and with the highest level of academic quality, observing APA usage, citation and reference rules. Curriculum Project - 30% (30 pts) Due 2 nd to last week of class One valuable way to apply and demonstrate your understanding of Fink s Course Design for Significant Learning involves the direct application of your conceptual understanding to concrete and specific course design project of potential use by you in the future. Thus, for this assignment you will first identify (a) an actual discipline-based undergraduate course or adult education training program that you have taught previously, or (b) an actual discipline-based undergraduate course or adult education training program that you currently teach or (c) either a graduatelevel higher/adult education course or a discipline-based graduate course that you have recently completed as a doctoral student. The course or training program you identify will provide your specific and unique context for this project. The current syllabus from this course should be attached to the document you submit. Then, using Fink s (2003; 2005) model for promoting significant learning as a general guide, in a page paper, you will Describe two or more specific and significant situational factors that should be considered when redesigning this course to maximize significant learning Formulate a comprehensive set of learning goals to promote significant learning, understanding, and wisdom in the redesign of this course by integrating and applying the writings of Fink (2003), Wiggins & McTighe (2008) and Sternberg (2004) Create an Educative Assessment Plan for the redesign of this course that addresses two or more of the four elements of Feedback and Assessment discussed by Fink (i.e., forward-looking assessment; criteria and standards; self-assessment; and FIDeLity Feedback) Identify and describe two or more alternative active learning instructional strategies that are ideally suited for helping students master the learning goals you identified above to promote significant learning, understanding, and wisdom in the redesign of this course An excellent Course Design for Significant Learning presents a clear, well-reasoned and articulated response to each of the above identified elements. Since each student will be selecting his/her own personally relevant course to provide the specific and authentic context for addressing these important issues, there are no one size fits all correct responses to these questions. This is a challenging assignment to complete; please allow ample time to complete it! Presentation Project: Curriculum Issues - 30% of grade (30 pts) Sign up -Due middle 4-5 weeks of class The goal of this assignment is to provide the opportunity for students to investigate a curriculum related topic /issue more in-depth through independent literary research. Graduate student quality of research, analysis, synthesis and writing on specific topic is the necessary standard of work. Literary resources need to be used which are peer reviewed or book publications. Full academic APA format is required. Students are encouraged to select a curriculum topic related to their future dissertation work or possible topics to broaden their understanding of the literature and research. Selecting a topic related to EDH /5/2010 Author: Kathleenking@usf.edu p. 4

5 past experience or current work responsibilities is also fruitful for our students. The professor is willing to discuss relevant topics with individual students and the whole class. If the class would like to we could conduct whole group discussion about prospective topics. Grading Procedures and Criteria No grade below C: will be accepted toward a graduate degree. This includes C-grades. Grading system and percentages to be used in this course are as follows: Grade Percentage Grade Percentage Grade Percentage A+ A A B B B C C C D D D F 59- University GPA equivalents of the above grades are as follows: A (Please note no additional grade points for A+ designation) A 4.00 A B B 3.00 B C C 2.00 C D D 1.00 D-.67 F 0 Student ADA Needs Students in need of academic accommodations for a disability may consult with the office of Services for Students with Disabilities to arrange appropriate accommodations. Students are required to give reasonable notice to the professor (typically 5 working days) prior to requesting an accommodation. USF s Official Academic Continuity Policy: In an dated August 15, 2009 faculty were instructed to include the following statement in their course syllabi.

Other Course Procedures Course Activities and Assignments Academic Rigor- Quality of Work All assignments (including drafts) must be word-processed. Need we say in 2010, hand-written assignments will not be accepted. Please double-space, use 12 pt. font, 1-inch margins, APA format title page and footer with student name in it. Please note that the title/cover page and the reference page do not count towards the total number of pages for any of your papers. The quality of writing and format of all written work will be taken into account in grading; all written work should be presented at a graduate/doctoral level of proficiency. The manual of style adopted by the USF College of Education, American Psychological Association (APA), 6th edition, should be adhered to in all written work. All papers should be spell checked and edited for correct grammar. Proofreading is essential in being sure our best work is presented for grading Consider this point, NO published author would consider submitting un-proofread material, why should you? All Assignments All assignments (papers, projects, discussion board posts, essays, blog posts, etc) that are submitted late will be marked down for each day they are late. EDH /5/2010 Author: Kathleenking@usf.edu p. 6

7 In order to enable grading to occur, any Discussion Board posting areas will be locked and no further submissions accepted 7 days after the due date. Being absent is an insufficient reason for submitting an assignment. You will still be marked down unless there are extreme circumstances (Yes, it happens to all of us). If a student misses a class when an assignment is due, they may or fax the assignment to the professor. It is the responsibility of the student to secure confirmation of receipt of the assignment by the professor. Original Work- Issues of Intellectual Property, Copyright and Academic Dishonesty Academic Dishonesty: Plagiarism is defined as literary theft and consists of the unattributed quotation of the exact words of a published text, or the unattributed quotation of the exact words of a published text, or the unattributed borrowing of original ideas by paraphrase from a published text. On written papers for which the student employs information gathered from books, articles, or oral sources, each direct quotation, as well as ideas and facts that are not generally known to the public at large must be attributed to its author by means of the appropriate citation procedure. Citations may be made in footnotes or within the body of the text. Plagiarism also consists of passing off as one s own, segments or the total of another person s work. Punishment for academic dishonesty will depend on the seriousness of the offense and may include receipt of an F: with a numerical value of zero on the item submitted, and the F: shall be used to determine the final course grade. It is the option of the instructor to assign the student a grade of F or FF (the latter indicating dishonesty) in the course. Detection of Plagiarism: The University of South Florida has an account with an automated plagiarism detection service which allows instructors to submit student assignments to be checked for plagiarism. I reserve the right to 1) request that assignments be submitted to me as electronic files and 2) electronically submit assignments to SafeAssignment.com, or 3) ask students to submit their assignments to Safe Assignment.com through my USF. Assignments are compared automatically with a database of journal articles, web articles, and previously submitted papers. The instructor receives a report showing exactly how a student s paper was plagiarized. For more information about SafeAssignment and plagiarism, go to and click on Plagiarism Resources. For information about plagiarism in USF s undergraduate catalogue, go to: All quotations above come from the College of Education s 2004 Departmental Course Syllabus: Graduate Level Courses publication or from the Guidelines for Syllabi from the University of South Florida s College of Education web site retrieved 10/20/2005. Dr. Kathy King s Plagiarism and Paraphrasing Policy by Dr. Kathleen P. King (Revised 7/2010) How rampant is the problem of plagiarism in our society? In recent years, we have seen newspaper headlines of school superintendents plagiarizing whole speeches, political advisors plagiarizing reports and business people caught in the same. The results are that they suffer severe professional consequences. Take this opportunity to create best practice and strategies so that your work will always be substantial and well documented. Building this practice is an essential part of your academic and professional preparation which I obviously take seriously and hope you will also. Paraphrase Policy: Many of our course discussions and essays may request comments, references to or further development of specific issues and arguments discussed in the readings. My pedagogical and assessment goals are to determine if you understand these concepts in depth, are able to analyze them, and develop effective examples to illustrate them, when relevant. When students repeatedly quote the original EDH /5/2010 Author: Kathleenking@usf.edu p. 7

8 text they often end up masking their own interpretation and diluting the authentic communication value of their work. While it is acceptable to quote from the text directly, it is discouraged. I prefer to see evidence that you understand and can communicate the concepts in your own words. Therefore any paper or essay which has more than 5% of direct quotations will be rejected and receive a zero score. (5% is only 5 lines in every 100 lines and translates to ½ page of quotes in a 10 page paper. It is not much. The safest strategy is to always paraphrase and also cite your source (see the next section)!) Plagiarism Policy: As indicated in the USF policy reviewed in the previous section, I strongly recommend that you review the rules of citations, references, and what constitutes plagiarism. Any concept, wording or idea, which is not your own, needs to be cited as to its original source and the reference, included in your reference list for that assignment. (The APA 6 th edition is an excellent guide on this important matter.) I leave open the possibility that I may use web-based resources, such as to determine if materials have been directly cited or paraphrased and correctly cited by students. This approach to avoiding plagiarism seeks to help our learners be more careful in all of their research and writing so that in their professional and academic lives they do not fall into problems related to it. Other professors may not use online tools to determine the status, but I have found them very reliable and objective when used with the options available. If there is a question about your work regarding plagiarism, I will provide a report from the online system for us to use as a basis for discussion. However, any direct plagiarism will result in a ZERO for the assignment. Please note: Plagiarism constitutes an automatic zero for an assignment on the first offense. If it occurs again, the professor sends an academic report regarding the incident to the Dean, Division Chair, and/or student s adviser, and the student fails the course ( F or FF ). Speak to me if you have questions or concerns about this topic; I am here to help you become the best educators, as well as professionals, academics, administrators, and researchers you aspire to be. I am pleased to be on this journey of professional growth and learning with you.
