NOTE: Since 50% of all the tests and the final will incorporate problem-solving skill based on conceptual understanding, your comprehension of the subject matter is highly significant before you try to solve any problems. Hence, you need to practice doing the assigned problems while brushing your understanding of the subject matter. The other 50% will concentrate on sketching, drawings, labelling, and writing down concepts both in your own words and its mathematical representation. Your ability to sketch, label and draw & concept mapping will determine how much you understood the subject matter and in most cases the questions that are asked of you and will also indicate your success in the course.

ASSESSMENT

TESTS / 3 x 10% / = 30%
Read Assgn/Concept Map / 5 x 1% / = 5%
QUIZ / 5 x 2% / = 10%
PROJECT (Peer-Facilitating) / (2.5+2.5)% / = 5%
FINAL EXAM / 1 x 50% / = 50%

Reading Assgnment/Concept Map

ALL the assignment must be submitted no later than 3:00pm on Mondays. Your handwriting must be legible. Remember that this is only a summary of the chapter. Hence, I anticipate you to draw concept maps, draw, label, draw again and write down conceptual ideas. In addition, the mathematical representation for how the concepts are related and maybe some derivation on how to represent the concepts mathematically, must also be included, where applicable. DO NOT COPY ALL THAT YOU SEE IN YOUR TEXTBOOK. SUMMARIZE THEM. A good summary should not be more than 3 page long with lots of drawings and labeling or concept/mind mapping. You receive credit for each assignment that you submit.

PROJECT (PEER FACILITATING)

Assessment Components include the following:

i) Preparation before and after consultation (must sent self-assessment via email) and attendance whether as a facilitator or as a peer.

ii)  Your presence as facilitators on Friday, Sunday and Tuesday.

FORMAT:

1) Maximum of ten groups will be formed and depending on the class size, a group may consist of between three and four members.

2)  Each student will be assigned to do peer tutoring (facilitating) ONLY TWICE during the semester. This works really well if there are four members in each group but we will make do with whatever numbers we have.

Procedure:

a) Group members are selected by me based on CGPA and learning styles.

b) Group coordinators will be selected by me based on CGPA.

c)  Each group will receive the assigned topic as listed in the outline. Check your name on my website. Changes will only be entertained with a very strong excuse.

d)  On Fridays & Sundays, groups doing the facilitating the following week will see me to discuss what needs to be prepared. During those hours, we will go through your preparation (the concepts involved, the graphs or drawings and labeling that are required, the reasoning for a process or relationship between concepts, and the mathematical representations of the relationships), your understanding, your needs and your lacking. Group members are to read the materials before seeing me. We will be using the operational objectives (self-assessments) & facilitator’s notes that can be downloaded from my website at http://www.uitm.edu.my/faculties/fsg/drjj1.html. A password is required to open the PDF files. You will need to install Acrobat Reader 5.0 (free) on the computer you are using. Bring the operational objectives when you see me on Fridays & Sundays.

e)  Facilitating will be on Tuesdays (DIC) for two hours. Your role is to start and guide discussion among members and NOT TO TEACH. In addition to sharing concepts with your peers, you will also need to work on some examples and exercise problems during this session. Before the session begins, your students would have already evaluated themselves by using the operational objectives (self-assessment) and you will receive a copy of their assessments. All sessions will begin on time (8:10pm).

f)  Thursdays are designated for reinforcement (lecture/discussion) led by me with all students. Your post self-assessment sent to me after your peer discussion is very important in determining how the reinforcement class is held. So, send your email fast!! In addition, there will be quizzes (as designated on pages 1 – 3 of this outline).
