Syllabus Evaluation and Reflection

After designing a syllabus for adult learners in a medical assisting program focused on situation cognition and the learning environment, I asked for two experts in the field to review and evaluate my syllabus.  Both evaluators received a copy of my syllabus and the rationale.  I asked each evaluator to provide me with the strengths, weaknesses, areas to improve, and overall comments related to the functionality of my syllabus. 

October Monthly Summary:

During October, the big course projects were the program of practice paper and the syllabus design.  Working on the program of practice paper, I found that I had to put in a lot more hours completing the observations/information gathering section than I realized.  I set it up so that I could observe a section of both the classes I used in the paper, which was a clinical class in a medical assistant program and an advanced income tax class.
