Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th edition. Washington, D.C.: American Psychological Association Supplementary articles from instructor and students. Description This seminar seeks to promote professionalism, research and scholarly productivity and collegial support among GERI graduate students, associated graduate students, visiting scholars and interested others. A secondary purpose involves assisting GERI students, COE students, and associates with successful study and career preparation by focusing on research, grants, thesis preparation, graduate writing, proposal development, professional development, and degree completion. Finally, seminar offers students the opportunity to discuss, learn and “mess” around with current issues in the field and of personal interest. Seminar creates time and incentive for students to become more productive with their scholarship efforts, and offers students credit for work completed and formal support for the professional development and scholarship processes. In this course students should expect to attend, contribute, and participate. A variety of formats will be used, including discussion, simulations, group work, lecture, guest speakers, peer feedback, etc. Course work and grading Students select from the following, flexible menu of activities to meet course productivity requirements. This menu will be discussed and possibly revised after the first course meeting to accurately reflect the interests and goals of the students participating in seminar. Since seminar is a variable credit course, not all students will do all things, hence the “menu.” The first 3 items on the menu are expected of all students who enroll in seminar. Grading 90-100% = A; 80-89% = B; 70-79% = C; 60-69% = D; <60% = F (80% or greater for Pass if taking the course Pass/Fail) Variable Credit: Based on the variable credits of this course the following points are needed for 100% = 30 points for 1 credit; 100% = 50 points for 2 credits; 100% = 70 points for 3 credits2 2 Assignment Menu (Submit all items at the semester’s end in a “folio”) Assignment1 Description Points 1 Attendance Come to class, contribute, and participate 10 2 Write for Publication Draft an article, review, unit, instrument, or chapter for publication to a referred venue 10 3 Develop an interactive Professional Development workshop Create a 2-3 hour professional development workshop in an area of your choice to be used with p-12 educators.
