You may subscribe to a professional or patient-focused list. Print those messages that you find particularly relevant or insightful. Also print any messages you post.
  4. Review Advance Magazine articles. (Up to 10 points). I have placed the past year's issues of Advance Magazine for Speech Pathologists and Audiologists in the Clinician's workroom. Summarize, critique, and reflect on any individual article related to acquired language disorders or service delivery for individuals with acquired language disorders (2 points for each article). Alternatively, analyze and synthesize information from a series of related articles (up to 10 points).
  5. Create a portfolio to document your learning. (5 - 10 points depending on quality). A portfolio is a collection of artifacts which document your learning. A portfolio that includes each of the learning activities conducted during the class organized in some meaningful way will earn 5 points. An additional 5 points will be earned by careful and thoughtful reflection on the learning process. For example, the portfolio might include an explanation of how the learning activities you chose complemented each other or provided you with a balanced education in the area of acquired language disorders. Materials which contributed to your learning that were pursued independently would be appropriate to include in the portfolio. Consider a table of contents.
  6. Class participation. (1-5 points based on instructor's judgment). Students who contribute in an exceptional way to their peers' learning through participation in class discussions and/or listserv discussions will earn additional points.
