Info

1. All papers should be single-spaced, with 1” margins and Times Roman 12-point font. 2. All papers must incorporate the assigned readings for the current Module. Information from or referring to any of the assigned readings, any course materials, or any other information considered an outside source must be cited appropriately in the text of the paper and a reference list must be included at the end of the paper. 3. Referenced materials in the form of citations in the text and reference lists at the end should be in APA format. Teaching APA format is not part of the course. If you are unfamiliar with or need a refresher on APA format, please see the Purdue University APA site at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01 There is also an on-line tutorial on the APA website at http://www.apastyle.org/learn/tutorials/basics-tutorial.aspx 4. If you cut-and-paste information from a web site, please format the text so there is one font throughout your paper. Be sure to cite the web site appropriately both in the text and on the reference list. 5. Papers should be submitted in the format of a written paper. Please do not simply cut-and-paste a list of items or quotes from a web site as your paper, or answer specific parts of the assignment in separate responses. You need to include information and discuss in paragraph form that flows logically in the form of a paper. 6. Be sure to answer ALL parts of the assignment in order to receive full credit. 7. Please identify your papers by titling the files "Paper Module # last name" - for example: Paper Module 1 Robbins. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AS YOUR READER WILL BE RECEIVING MULITIPLE PAPERS EACH ASSIGNMENT. 8. Please submit your papers in Microsoft Word format with the extension .doc. No .docx files, please! 9. Be sure to meet all deadlines as identified on the course syllabus in order to receive full credit for your papers. Papers may be submitted early, but are due no later than the date identified for each in the course syllabus. Papers handed in late will only be accepted for possible credit if submitted within 24 hours/1 day of the original submission deadline. Any paper submitted late but within 24 hours/1 day of the original deadline will receive 1/2 the points it would have if graded normally - which means that even if the paper if perfect, the best a late paper can receive would be 10 points out of 20. No papers will be accepted after 24 hours/1 day of the original deadline; you will receive no points for the assignment if turned in any later or not turned in at all. 10. Please see a sample paper posted in the module titled “Syllabus and Sample Paper.” 11. Upon receipt of your graded paper, you should review the comments and feedback made via the Track Changes function of Microsoft Word. Since your final portfolio will consist primarily of your revised reaction papers, you should ideally incorporate the feedback and make revisions as appropriate as soon as you receive your graded paper to avoid a time-crunch at the end of the course when putting your portfolio together. Evaluation of papers is based on analyzing and synthesizing the reading, application of material to advising situation and role, and correct use of language and mechanics. Each paper is worth 20 points for a total of 140 possible points. Papers must be submitted by midnight (your time) of the due date; all due dates will be on a Monday to allow at least one full weekend to work on the assignment. Papers may be submitted early, but are due no later than the date identified for each on the course syllabus.
2) Additional Assignments: Module 6 includes an assignment in addition to the assigned paper worth 20 points, while the assignment for Module 7 is not a paper but a different assignment worth 20 points. 3) Discussion and Response Postings: Students are required to post comments and responses to the Discussion Board on topics for each of the 7 modules. Students are required to post at least one response to the instructor’s question, and are also required to post at least one response, comment, and/or question to a fellow student's comment or response. You may respond as much as you would like but must meet the criteria above. All responses will be due by midnight (your local time) on a Friday prior the due date for your assigned paper in order to allow you to incorporate relevant information from the discussion board into your paper. You will receive 10 points for each posting – therefore a total of 20 points for each assigned discussion board topic – for a total of 140 possible points. There are no post-deadline responses allowed for the discussion. PLEASE NOTE: the assigned papers and discussion questions require you to apply information from your course assignments to the administration of academic advising at an institution of higher education. If you are not currently in an administrative academic advising or related position at an institution, you should identify an institution with which you are either familiar or can easily access their administration of academic advising information. This may require you to make personal contact with an academic advising administrator to serve as a resource for the course. By formally identifying an institution and utilizing that school's information throughout this course, you will become more familiar with foundation and practice of the administration of academic advising, and higher education practices in general, than if the questions were answered hypothetically. 4) Submission of a Cumulative Portfolio: At the completion of the course, students will have a clearly delineated administrative description of their respective advising programs, including identified issues and the start of an overall assessment paradigm for their programs. The final portfolio will be a culmination of all of the readings, assignments, and other aspects of the course and will be worth 100 points. Detailed directions for the final portfolio can be found below. Total possible points = 390 A = 351 - 390 points B = 312 - 350 points C = 273 - 311 points D = 234 - 272 points PLEASE NOTE: Instructions and deadlines for all graded assignments and activities are listed below. There is no extra credit opportunity for this course. Module 1. Developing a Mission Statement and Goals for Your Advising Program Campbell, S. M. (2008).
