Learning Philosophy:

The learning philosophy for this course is sequential learning. Studies with sequential designs are powerful because they allow for both longitudinal and cross-sectional comparisons. It also provides improved retention: When concepts are learned sequentially, they are better integrated into long-term memory. This means students are less likely to forget what they've learned and can easily apply their knowledge to new situations.

Immediate Feedback in Sequential Learning: This is a core component of effective learning environments. It involves providing learners with quick insights into their performance, which helps them understand what they have mastered and where they need further improvement. In the context of sequential learning, such feedback becomes a powerful tool, enabling students to correct errors and refine their understanding in real-time.

Assessment:

Our comprehensive educational scaffolding approach to assessment combines:

Individual assignments (100%),
Collaborative group discussions (0%)
Peer reviews (0%)
online quizzes (knowledge checks) (0%)

To ensure students master both theoretical concepts and practical applications.

Benefits of Group Discussions on student performance:

Students' interactions and discussions with others allow the group to construct new knowledge, place it within a conceptual framework of existing knowledge, and then refine and assess what they know and do not know.

Benefits of Group Discussions on student performance:

Benefits of Online Quizzes on student performance:

Quizzes help students determine knowledge gaps and identify areas that require further study. This skill is called metacognitive monitoring. Regular quizzing opportunities boost metacognitive monitoring abilities and helps students discover what knowledge they're confident and less confident in understanding.
