LACT 525 Applications I

This course provides an opportunity for the student to begin applying the knowledge that has been gained in prior courses. Each student works one -on -one with a faculty mentor and the course content is individualized for each student. The student and instructor collaboratively develop an Individualized Learning Component that supplements the course syllabus and identifies activities and expectations specific for that student. Examples of experiential and/or applied learning activities may include: developing a childbirth education curriculum; undertaking a series of structured visits to health facilities or other institutions; undertaking a creative project (a series of short stories, essays, or art works); conducting specialized research to gather data for the upcoming thesis (conducting archival research or conducting surveys and interviews, etc.); or, preparing and delivering conference presentations. At the end of the term, the student offers substantive reflection on how learning activities undertaken during the term inform the student’s academic study.
