manager.
REQUIREMENTS
Each two-week
period has been assigned reading from the course text. For one-week period you are expected to read
ahead of the class and set an open question to initially focus the listserv
discussion. Whenever possible try to
connect the question to course experiences (in class or in the school) and
readings. Consult the course lecturer
if you have concerns or need to discuss an idea you have has a group. The course lecturer will also be involved in
the listserv on a limited basis. You
should be facilitating discussion on at least four days in your period as
listserv manager. A running total of
your entries on the listserv will be noted.
If you fail to log on in a three-week period you will not get a mark for
that three-week period.
