Black's October Monthly Summary

Laura commented on Group One and Group Three's October summaries

October Summary
This month has gone so quickly! We spent numerous hours continuing our research of multiple case studies revolving around the environment and context of real life. The beginning of the month we finalized our program investigation and found many relevant programs to gather information from and apply to our “real-life” examples.
Shortly after our program investigation, we continued our weekly discussions on the information processing model, how the brain is wired, multiple intelligences theory, mental processes of cognition, and Piaget’s cognitive stages of development.
Between our weekly discussions and comments, we found the time to work on our syllabus design. As a group, we were really proud of final product. (Personally, I would sign up for our “real-life” workshop; I loved the format and content that we created.) We could see how our program investigation was the framework for our syllabus design. It has been rewarding to see how our group efforts have come together to create a program that could be used in the real world with many applications that adult learners could benefit from.
As a group, we came closer during the middle of the month as we were assigning different parts to complete for our syllabus design paper. We made a group pact to finish a few days early and give ourselves time to proofread and finalize. Unfortunately, when push came to shove, we didn’t meet our personal timeline, but still managed to complete the paper and submit it before the class deadline expired. Go team!

We are looking forward to bringing it all together with our project demonstration next month!

  1. I've also enjoyed seeing all the parts come together and be able to work as a team to create a product we believe in:) Always good to aim for a little ahead of the deadline to give some breathing space even if it doesn't work every time. Good job!

  2. I am happy for you being proud of your final product. Putting syllabus design together as group is a great work. Most importantly, the program you created could actually benefit adult learners in real life.

  4. Our group also tried to get things done a few days early, but we also did miss our deadline. We got the paper in in time, but wish we had some time to overlook it. Aaron has really taken the lead in our class and is keeping us all together!
