Unless otherwise stated, all assignments are due no later than 5:00 PM CST on Mar 29 .

• I'd like to hear from you about your thoughts on this course: what you have learned from it, how you can apply what you have learned from it, and any other feedback you feel like providing. Submit your responses (in a Word DOC or RTF format) to the "Week 10 Lesson 1" dropbox in eLearning.

• Think about your interests as a professional. What did you come to UWF to learn more about specifically? As you continue through your course work, try to think of the content critically by asking yourself "How do we know this is true?"  You will find that much of what we know as Best Practice in our respective fields is labeled as such due to research that supports that practice and it's effects. You will also find that some techniques thought to be best practices by many people actually have no empirical supports. This should concern you.  Expert teachers are educated consumers of information that think critically about what they are asked to do and why. If a new fad in teaching technique comes along, the first question to come to mind should be "how do I know this technique actually works?" With the knowledge you gain from this research sequence you will have the tools necessary for deciding for yourself what works and what doesn't.  I would like you to identify at least 3 researchable questions either developed from your course work or experience that you might be interested in pursuing in Research Practicum. Compare the quality of your work wit the model responses.  Post your potential research questions in the "Week 10, Lesson 3" dropbox in the eLearning system.

• Read the instructions for the upcoming final exam.
