Pacing the Work
Overview

Here we provide two different kinds of schedules:

In general our schedules reflect similar principles:

    •     We do not give students a new reading assignment on the same day that a finished writing assignment is due

    •     We use weekends for major components of the research, usually data collection

    •     Peer review, discussion of evaluation criteria and working toward a portfolio are integrated into the course

    •     We collect portfolios on the final day of the course and have students retrieve them during the exam period at a short conference

    •     These schedules are meant for teachers; we give students a much simplified schedule with reading and writing assignments but without the description of in-class activities

    •     These schedules provide links to annotations of the readings and to other materials available elsewhere on this site
