(Final assignment: 15%) NOTES ON SUBMISSIONS o failing to submit more than two weekly writing tasks will result in an automatic failure of the course o repeated acts of plagiarism will result in an automatic failure of the course NOTE: Students found to be misrepresenting AI text as their own work will fail that assignment. Students repeatedly misrepresenting AI text as their own work will fail the course and will face consequences in line with Sophia University’s Principles of Academic Honesty. 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 in a moderated fashion allows students to understand the learning process and to 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 engage in all classes. • Students may miss two 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, inform me by e-mail ([email protected]) in advance of your absence. Please also inform your classmates for any group work you will not be able to participate in, so they may prepare appropriately. • Three absences: 10% reduction in final grade. • Four absences: automatic “F” for final grade. • Failing to engage in class (including, among other activities, incomplete homework, lack of class contributions, engaging your smart phone) will result in a reduction in your final grade. • Your professor will not remind you about work/quizzes you have missed. Take responsibility: contact your classmates when you are absent regarding expectations for the next class.

概要

The Thinking Processes course is an introduction to the analysis of thought from two perspectives: theory and application. The 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. The course involves extensive reading, writing, and interaction. Students should prepare for a rigorous course of study. Thinking Processes students, regardless of their professor, can expect to write 10,000-12,000 words over the semester.

目標

This course aims to develop analytic and interpretive skills through close engagement with a variety of texts, a process that involves careful reading, thoughtful writing, and probing discussion. Students will work toward developing a set of academic skills that will provide a foundation for later coursework and life beyond university.

授業外の学習

Thinking Processes is a challenging course, and students should expect to spend over three hours preparing outside of class for each lesson, including: • reviewing previous class materials (60 minutes) • working on ongoing assignments (60 minutes) • preparing materials and reading/writing/presentation assignments for next class (70 minutes) In addition, given the amount of writing that this course involves, students should review materials from Composition 1 before the start of term.
