Expectations

The third learning level is documenting the content of the discussions to increase recall and understanding. This is accomplished by typing a list of concepts you value from your notes, insights, and discussions, and writing a brief, one-line explanation for each concept. These are called one-liners and act as a foundation for your learning. They increase recall because you review, rewrite, and reconsider! They should be complete ideas and complete sentences. You should shoot for about 10-12 one-liners per week.

Use your one-liners to complete the reflection assignment each week. You will choose one of your one-liners and write a paper that describes the concept it more detail. One-liners should be written in complete sentences and focus on the main and supporting concepts from the readings, videos, PowerPoints, and discussion. 

You will be graded on the following criteria:

• Submitted a hardy list of many/most of the concepts from the course materials.
• Provided clear and complete ideas in one or two lines for each concept.

Examples

Well-written one-liner:

When we are knowledgeable about other cultures, it does not take that much effort to embed cultural traditions into classroom instruction; it is just as easy to have students compute the dimension of a fish rack as a rectangular box.

Poorly-written one-liner:

Embedding culture into learning is a good idea.
