This course is also designated as a social science GER course and typically attracts a diverse range of students across colleges and majors, making it a potentially high-impact course for improving career readiness.&nbsp;As a 2023-24 Experiential Learning Fellow, Noelle used the fellowship to refine a key assignment in this class and assess its contribution to two learning goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Students\u2019 ability to apply sociological knowledge to real-world problems and situations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students\u2019 ability to develop a series of seven transferrable skills (Analytical Thinking, Leadership, Teamwork, Problem-Solving, Written Communication, Flexibility\/Adaptability, Understanding\/Appreciation of Diversity).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/set\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/631\/2024\/10\/SOCIO-260-Syllabus.pdf\" rel=\"\">Syllabus<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-offset--1\">\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--gold uwm-u-mb-40 uwm-p-card--shadow\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading size-h3\" id=\"h-course-characteristics\">Course Characteristics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list uwm-c-list--link-arrow\">\n<li><strong>Key Experiential Learning Activity<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Final Course Portfolio<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Learning Outcomes<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apply sociological ideas to real-world problems, transferrable skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assessment Methods<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pre- and post-class surveys, Final Course Portfolio<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenges and Solutions<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Meeting needs of diverse student body<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advice for Other Instructors<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Emphasize real-world applicability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"uwm-bg-gray uwm-u-py-80\"><div class=\"uwm-l-container--base uwm-l-container--overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading-separator\" id=\"h-assignment\">Assignment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lead-in\">Final Portfolio Assignment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final course portfolio project was designed to help students reflect upon how participation and efforts in this class have contributed to their ability to develop content-specific knowledge in family sociology and transferrable skills. Noelle believes the course portfolio is a strong and holistic assessment tool to measure student learning and growth over the course of the semester. However, there is also some evidence that a course portfolio can benefit you beyond this class as it further documents your college experience for future employers or other professional opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-u-mb-40 uwm-p-card--shadow uwm-p-card--white\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Assignment Instructions<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">Complete Final Portfolio Instructions including learning outcomes<\/div><a class=\"uwm-p-card--link\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/set\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/631\/2024\/12\/SOCIOL-260-Final-Portfolio-Instructions.pdf\">View the instructions<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-u-mb-40 uwm-p-card--shadow uwm-p-card--white\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Student Example<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\"><\/div><a class=\"uwm-p-card--link\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/set\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/631\/2024\/10\/SOCIO-260-Final-Course-Portfolio-Student-Example.pdf\">View the student example<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-u-mb-40 uwm-p-card--shadow uwm-p-card--white\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Assignment Assessment<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">SOCIO 260 Evidence of Final Course Portfolio Impact on Career Readiness<\/div><a class=\"uwm-p-card--link\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/set\/careers-in-the-classroom\/toolkit\/sociol-260-course-page\/assignment-assessment\/\">View the assessment<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10342,"featured_media":0,"parent":6296,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"class_list":["post-6623","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
