ATTENDANCE AND CLASS PARTICIPATION POLICY The Core Program is based on a process-oriented educational philosophy. This means that student learning is about more than just completing assignments. A primary function of the Core Program is to engage students with the process of learning. This includes actively and meaningfully engaging with course materials, classmates, professors, and external resources such as the library or FLA Writing Center. Doing so moderately allows students to understand the learning process and refine their learning. This approach is designed to provide a foundation for your later studies and beyond. Moreover, students who miss class find themselves perpetually behind and unable to do their best work. Accordingly, attendance is of extreme importance. Considering these matters, please carefully note the following: Students are required to attend and actively participate in all classes. Students may miss three classes for any reason. If any absence results from a contagious illness (e.g., COVID-19, influenza), provide a doctor's note that explicitly documents the condition so that the absence can be excused. If you are unable to attend class, please inform your classmates for any group work you will not be able to participate in, so they may prepare appropriately. Four absences: 10% reduction in final grade. Five absences: automatic “F” for final grade. Three late arrivals will count as one absence. If a student is more than 20 minutes late, this will count as an absence. Make sure to pick up “late-train slips” if you are late because of train delays. (You may use these up to three times.) Failing to participate (including, among other activities, incomplete homework, lack of class contributions, using your mobile phone, using your laptop for non-class related activities) will result in a reduction in your final grade. If you miss a class, you are responsible for finding out what you missed and how you can prepare for the next class. Check Moodle for handouts. *I reserve the right to modify this syllabus. Any changes will be announced by email and reflected on our course Moodle page.

概要
This course will introduce students to metacognitive theories that are concerned with how the thinking process works within a socio-cognitive framework. Students will be positioned to cultivate their critical faculties through exposure to a variety of texts and ideologies. Thinking Processes is a challenging course that involves extensive reading, writing, and discussion. Students should expect to spend about three hours preparing outside of class for each lesson. As such, students should prepare for a rigorous course of study. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact the course's instructor, <[email protected]>
