Passive Assignments

Reading/Watching/Listening: this area of the course will include

- Textbook Chapters – One of the main focuses of this course is to learn to speak the quality in process tech language.  Much of your terminology and theory will be learned by reading the chapters.
- Mini-Lectures including various videos and “guest speakers”.
- Face-to-face meetings will be spent almost entirely on group projects.

Interactive Assignments:

- Class Discussions: Each module we will have at least one online discussion; these discussions will help clarify the theories and concepts you learned in the textbook and through our mini-lectures and videos, and give you a chance to try out your quality terminology and think critically about your learning. They also help you to relate your learning to real life applications in the process technology field. Your participation in the discussion forum consists of the two required postings -your initial post and your response to at least one of your peers. You may respond as many times as you wish and I will take the top two responses. Please also respond to students who reply to you as that is what makes this a conversation.
- Assess Yourself: My philosophy is that you come to college expecting to learn and understand that a portion of your knowledge will be gained through chapter reading in the textbook. Read diligently, taking notes as you would for any class, and then check out how much you have learned, you will be rewarded for your diligence!
- Process Log: Record keeping is a large and important part of process quality so for this class you will keep a "Process Log" that will help you to reflect on what you are learning for each module.
- Quality Design - Final Group Project: This project is one that you will be working on starting immediately in week two of Module 1, I will organize your groups and you will begin to know each in person when we meet the first time. We will then meet again near mid-semester and your group will give the final project presentation on our last meeting day at the end of the semester, however, your group will be working together ONLINE during the entire semester.

Note- Learning to work on a team or within a group is essential to employment in the real world. It is not easy, especially when much of your collaborating will be done online, but you will be better able to handle group work by the end of this class.
