How will the modality change affect specific course requirements such as labs, peer-to-peer interaction, or group discussion? There will be an on-campus orientation session during the first week of the quarter. At this session the class web site will be demonstrated and techniques for insuring personal safety on field trips will be discussed. Methods of Assessment/Evaluation - Must reflect the modality change; please specifically address how you will ensure the integrity of the evaluation process. How will the methods used to assess the general education outcomes and course outcomes differ from the methods described in the course outline? Students will complete weekly online quizzes, submit weekly field notes and contribute to the class discussion. WebCT courseware provides a secure environment for testing, interpersonal communications and group discussions. Required Materials and Competencies - Please specify any hardware/software requirements, Internet access needs, and prerequisite computer competencies for the class Students must have regular Internet access and enough computer memory to display graphics and photographs. Supplemental Materials and Competencies similar to the above, but purchase or acquisition is optional A camera is a useful tool for recording the details of the habitats the student visits as well as recording any unusual birds or bird behaviors. A digital camera would allow the student to append their photographs to their field trip reports. _ _ _ North Seattle Community C o l l e g e - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Math, Science, Social Science Course Establishment Form Outline Effective Date: Spring/04 Division: Math, Social Program/Dept: Biology Credits: 5 Variable: N A Science Course Number: BIO 130 Course Title: Northwest Inst. 11 A CIP: Tran sf er x Fee: 01 fee Online: Computing fee Name of Degree/Certificate: Distribution Requirement for s rirJL(J"lt,,U Transfer Status to 4-year institution: IXX please describe: Course length: No: 1 on campus 25 online 77 44 Prerequisite: Clinical: Other: Yes: If yes, please describe: Course Description: Introductory ornithology course that focuses on the biology and ecology of Northwest bird Page 2 NSCC General Education Learning Outcomes and/or Related Instructional Outcomes (for technical courses) Met by Course: Outcome 1: Think critically in reading and writing Outcome 4: Access, evaluate, and apply information from a variety of sources and a variety of contexts.
