The paper will exemplify the principles being discussed that week. \nOnline Assignments: During Weeks 1-3\, you will have 1-2 short online assignments each week. Some of these will entail you giving an example and then giving feedback on examples provided by a few of your fellow students. \nOnline posts: During Weeks 2-4 you will post two questions\, comments or reflections relevant to the material from the previous week to the discussion forum. You will also respond to at least two of your fellow students’ posts from that week (= total of four posts per week). Your questions and responses will be graded based on their thoughtfulness and completeness. \nFinal Project: During Week 4\, you will complete a final project/paper in which you will synthesize the topics covered to cohesively analyze and scientifically critique publicly available training videos and handouts. \n\nClass Schedule\nThis four-week course will begin on the specified start date. The first three weeks will explore the scope of the course. There will be no new content in the fourth week which is reserved for completing final projects\, discussion and synthesizing the course content. Students will have access to the course material for 60 days after the course ends. \n\nCourse Completion/CEU Requirements\nAuditors must review all course material.
