Catalog Information

I refer frequently to S.A.P.'s "Satisfactory Academic Progress" Policy. First I review the performance standard required by the school, as well as attendance. Then show the scheduled hours when the continuing reviews will occur, as well as the Determination of Progress that will reflect on the financial aid that could be affected during this time.

Create audits

If a company does not have an audit system in place what is the best way to get everyone involved and consistant with it?

compliance course

Good course! Used some motivational techniques such as "Best in Class" certificates for the student with the highest grade, and class participation. This piece of paper they can include in their portfolios, and can present when interviewing for a job.

Online Training

As far as online training goes, this was an extremely efficient and effective program. The information provided was clear and accurate. I did enjoy the posts, as they gave me a chance to see what other people were thinking. I was also glad to see that instructors as well as admissions representatives take the course. I must admit, however, the quizzing was a bit worrisome.

Careful

You have to be very mindful of the law--HIPPA and FERPA especially. Sharing information even with parents at times is illegal if the student opts not to grant them access.

Accomodating a Learning Disability

My student had a learning disability. Functionally, she had difficulty in choosing words to speak and difficulty correctly spelling the term. She knew the term. During office hours, I spent time with her to review the concepts/definition and place them on flash cards. I identified early that Repetitiveness was key to her exam success. I also noted on the first exam that she was spelling words the way she spoke them. I changed the format of the exam to Multiple Choice for all students, without changing the integrity of the test. After taking this course, I am curious if I confused success with access.

Cindy Williams

My Role as Instructor

As the instructor, my students share very personal issues with me. Many of the information shared is directly involved with their disability. Most of these students want to be treated like everyone else is treated. Narcolepsy was experienced by one of my Math students. She was a very bright student, but was heavily medicated to keep her awake. The medicine corrected the issue of falling asleep randomly. However, the opposite effect of the medication was making her very agitated and nervous during class. She cannot not take the message. As an instructor, what is the best advice to give this student? I can only share my observations with the student.

cm 101 Internal Audits

Hi, I just finished the CM101 course on creating and conducting internal audits. I'm really very happy with such concrete instruction on how to do something that sounds so completely foreign and potentially nerve wracking. I'm quite looking forward to putting the tools I've learned about into place and I really appreciate such a concise class and materials. Thanks!

Accomodation for ADA : How does Instructor Know?

In both situations with two students with the need for accomodation, I was not aware that disabilities existed. The first few weeks of school they communicated their situation to me. Currently,our school does not have a Disability Services Office. On the first day of class, I also ask the student to let me know if they have any special circumstances that they would like to share with me privately. I try to make the invitation very generic, including transportation issues etc, as not to embarrass the student. Unfortunately, the students with disabilities assumes they will be treated differently by professor or fellow students. As a result, they are hesitant to share information willingly.

Physical Limitations

I recently had a student who was in a wheelchair taking my College Math course. As part of class, students are assigned questions and demonstrate answers on the board. I realized that John Doe was not participating as actively in the exercise. He was a very bright student that was an asset to the class. I talked to him privately to see how I could boost his confidence in coming to the board. He simply replied that he was only able to reach a very small part of the white board. From that point on, I verified that John Doe had a reserved spot on the board to participate as actively as other students. I also apologized for not recognizing the limitation earlier. Privately, I was so disappointed that missed such an issue.

Importance of recognizing LD's early in student's academic career

As a child and again as a college student I continually had difficulty with math. The difficulties severely limited my direction in my education. My difficulties were also often written off as a lack of ability or a lack of effort. With the knowledge that came later in my life that I have dyscalculia, I realize that that was the root cause of my troubles with math. Had this learning disability been recognized for what it was earlier in my academic career, my path may have been different.

Does the timeliness of the disclosure matter?

I have a student who went into a business orientated program where computer use was a large part of the cirriculum. The student is now entering her last term and nearing graduation. She never disclosed that she would require any accomodations at any point along the way. One of the exit requirements is a typing certificate at a particular speed. She has been unable to meet that speed and going into her last term she is now trying to get it waived. She was able to complete all her classes successfully up until this point. Her intended line of work will require a typing certificate. She is requesting that the typing test be waived now due to a disability. My question is, at what point must the request for accomodations be submitted and does it even matter?

Helping Students Find There Career Path

As an incoming admission representative, I am excited to begin meeting with potential students to help them begin on a career path that will set up a foundation for their rest of the lives. It is very important to understand what the student is interested in and how those skills can be translated into a career path. It is our job to guide the student into the program that fits their skill and personality set so they can parlay those skills into a successdul career!

ADD/ADHD

This course is causing me to reflect on my learning experiences through out my educational career. I have always loved history, english and social sciences but have a hard time with math and science. During tests, I would do well and get the answers correct but towards the end of the exam, I would get tired and distracted with the process and "throw away" the test buy just answering what i thought was the best choice. Going back over the test, I knew most of the answers but was ready to finish the test. I think it is possible that I might have a slight ADD problem. Even going through this course, I have to write down every point to stay concentrated and prepared for the tests at the end. Currently, I am enrolled in a Master's degree program and have to work espically hard to manage my time time, study and preapre for the tests and papers. Do you think ADD/ADHD is more common than we think?

The Changing of America

The Civil Rights Acts of the 1960's has really shaped American for the better. In the past people with phyisical or mental handicaps were exlcuded from society as a whole and even locked away in institutions because society did not know how to accomdiate these people.Today it is common place to see wheelchair access, rails on stairwells and hanicap parking. Some years ago, this was not the case. What are some other changes you have seen in the past few decades to make sure all American citizens are given a chance to make a living and be a productive member of society?
