Start Here: Welcome!
Please use this syllabus as a guide. In it, you'll find information on the overall course schedule, a breakdown of online and in-person work we’ll be doing, and information on your assessments. You'll also find a bit of background information about what this course is, why we created it, and how you can succeed in it. Please make sure to read it carefully!
How to Get Started
Ready to dive in? The online portion of this course is divided into five weekly modules. How you spend your time throughout the week is up to you, but you'll have two different deadlines each week. Specific deadlines are listed in the introduction of each week's module.
- Each Friday, the week's required readings must be completed and your initial discussion post is due.
- Each Sunday, your discussion response and an Action Plan activity are due.
One exception is Week 5, which has two activities. Activity: Meet with Leadership involves interviewing your institution's dean or director (you can also include your supervisor). It can be difficult to schedule a meeting with busy administrators, so please set this up and get it on their calendar right away. This activity will be due in Week 5, but you can work on it anytime.
You can work ahead in the course. If you know you have a really busy week coming up, start on the next unit early. If you do work ahead, it's important to loop back to the current week's discussion. In order to have a robust conversation, we need everyone to be actively involved.
