Instructional Context
CODE320 provides an opportunity for students to reflect upon their work, produce and polish products from implementation, and share their findings and research with relevant audiences. At the end of the semester, they present their finished projects at SIUE’s Undergraduate Student Showcase.
Objectives
- Create polished, usable contributions for stakeholders that bring together all of your research and the work you completed during your implementation semester.
- Develop a dissemination plan and share your work with multiple audiences.
- Reflect on your work to consider what you have learned and how you will continue to develop in relationship to the project.
Syllabus
Assignments
Over the course of the semester, students reflect on the work they’ve done thus far, the process of revision, and their experiences and relationships in CODES.
One of the chief goals of CODE320 is for students to share the work they’ve done with stakeholders, both in the local community and beyond. In the dissemination plan, students identify the audiences they’d like to reach, key considerations, and strategies for reaching those audiences.
Each student contributes two pieces of content to Emplace. These include a collaboratively authored narrative of the implementation project they carried out the prior semester and an individual contribution, which might be a new or refined piece of content related to the whole.
In their author bio, each student decides how to present themselves to their audiences. The bio contextualizes their work on Emplace and helps them frame their experiences and background in relation to the work they’ve carried out.
Students’ final assignment is to present their work to colleagues and community partners at the SIUE Undergraduate Scholars’ Showcase. Students work in their groups to create a 10-12 minute presentation that provides an overview of their implementation project, how each individual piece fit into the project, and their reflections on CODES.
