Research Methodology: Syllabus Design and IntroductionDilip Barad
Research Methodology in Humanities, especially, in English literary studies is important to the aspirants of M.Phil, Ph.D. or to the research scholars/teachers who wish to apply for minor or major research projects to UGC or similar funding agencies. This presentation gives an outline of model syllabus for such courses. It also presents some views of Richard Altick and John Fenstermaker from 'The Art of Literary Research'.
In this class we take a look at the process of designing goals and objectives for language courses. We also explore some of the alternatives to objectives such as competencies and standards

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.

2. Learning Objectives for this Module
Students completing this lesson will be
able to:
• Articulate the qualities of a well
designed course
• Create a well balanced syllabus
consistent with best practices
• Plan lessons from a student centered
perspective.
3. Warm-up Exercise
Think about courses you have taken.
What was the best course you ever
had?
What was the worst course you ever
took?
What made those experiences really good or bad?
4. Warm-up Exercise
As you go through this
presentation, imagine topic you’d like to
teach.
Think about how it might be broken
down into modules.
This will help you to internalize the concepts presented
here.

7. Course Goals and Learning Objectives
Begin planning your course by writing your course goals
and learning objectives.
• Goals are usually more generalized. (e.g. Students will
become experienced practitioners.)
• Learning objectives are more specific and should be
measureable. (e.g. Students will be able to identify
different classes of medications.)
Note that you don’t need to specify an objective for
everything you teach. Just include enough objectives so
that you can measure student achievement as well as
assess the effectiveness of your teaching.

9. Teaching Mode
What teaching mode will best serve your
students?
Think of some considerations.
Should your class be face to face or
distance? Should it be flipped or hybrid?
What kinds of classes are best done in
each mode? Jot down a few ideas.
10. Flipping
Classes are said to be “flipped” when the instructor spends more
time as coach and mentor and less time lecturing.
Watch Harvard Professor Eric Mazur give a physics lesson (8
minutes).
What makes him a master teacher?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4XmRbHSnQc
11. Media and Technology
What is the best way to deliver content?
Mobile device? Video? Prezi? Google?
Think about the ways you like to get content.
13. Content: Be Prepared to Pivot!
Students may not learn in the way you planned.
While testing is one way to discover this, a polling
tool, like Socrative or PollEveryWhere, can help you
discover this before a test.
So it’s wise to include optional activities in a syllabus
to give you some extra time if needed.
14. Learning Activities
Consider what learning is best done individually and what is best done
collaboratively.
What are the advantages of collaborative learning?
Consider what type of learning is best done through each of the
following:
• A passive activity such as reading or reviewing content
• An experiential activity (such as lab or demonstration)
• A composition activity (such as a paper, website, or presentation)
• A reflective activity (such as a blog or journal)
• A creative activity (such as creating a model, diagram, or video)
15. Learning Community
Creating an environment in which
students have opportunities to teach
each other as well as learn from each
other, rather than compete, results in
the best learning.
What are some ways you have
experienced a learning community in
your classes?
How can instructors/preceptors help
to build a learning community
environment?

18. Syllabus Construction
The syllabus is a tool to communicate to
students what you will expect of them, but it
also lets them know what they can expect of
you.
What are some strategies you might employ
to make your syllabus seem welcoming and
pleasant to read?
19. Syllabus Construction
• Have a look at the checklist that accompanies
today’s lesson, entitled “Is Your Class High
Class?” This checklist, modeled after the
“Quality Matters” rubric, is a way to check to
see that your syllabus contains everything it
should.
20. Contact Hours
• A 3 credit course should have the equivalent of 3
hours of instruction per week for 15 weeks (45
hours total). "Carnegie unit:" 1 credit=15 hours
of instruction.
• A 3 credit course should require 6 hours of
outside activity (sometimes called "proxy hours")
per week in a 15 week term
(reading, papers, projects, etc.)
21. Content+Activity=Learning
As you lay out a schedule for the
course material, think about what
activity will best support the
learning at each stage. What
learning activities are best done at
the beginning of a course?
Does it make sense to assign
most of the reading at the
beginning of a course? Why?
22. Academic Integrity
The more isolated a student feels, the more likely
cheating is to occur.
Using more, lower stakes assignments, open book
tests, and group work will discourage cheating.
Giving students access to practice tests will help
alleviate test anxiety and build confidence.
Having a frank discussion about cheating may help
too.
For discussion: Did you know that in non-credit
MOOCS, cheating still occurs. Why is that?
What do you think about that?
24. Practice
Take a few minutes and draft your own syllabus for the course or
topic you plan to teach.
This will help you to remember the concepts we have talked
about today and identify any questions you might have.
