This week: I point you toward further resources for improving syllabi. I pass along an interesting Twitter thread on students’ learning-related fears about returning to the classroom. A Welcoming Syllabus A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about new research showing that writing a syllabus in a warm tone could encourage students to ask for help, and asked readers how they have made their syllabi inviting. I received a number of interesting responses. One common theme: The words used on the syllabus definitely matter, but so does the visual presentation. Liz Norell, an associate professor of political science at Chattanooga State Community College, summed up her approach by writing, “I’ve worked really hard to adapt my syllabus into a document that’s readable, user-friendly, and supportive.”
Chattanooga State’s Bolden Awarded Borgen Internship Friday, February 19, 2021 - by Betty Proctor, Chattanooga State Jacob “Jake” Bolden, a political science major and Global Scholar at Chattanooga State Community College, was recently awarded a 12-week Political Science Internship through the Borgen Project. Only five percent of applicants to the Borgen Project’s internship programs are selected to be a part of the organization. Mr. Bolden said he applied because of the positivity it brings to the world. “If my goal is to help people, why not start now?” he commented. Enthralled by a love of history since elementary school, Jake’s interests have branched out to include government, politics, and world affairs, and he says the internship will cause him to focus on the world with a new perspective. Currently enrolled in Comparative World Politics, Jake believes that simultaneously learning about the world and working on global issues are natural complements. He says his first year at Chattanooga State was “amazing” and that Political Science Associate Professor Dr. Liz Norell reignited his passion for learning. “I don’t know if I ever would have applied for the Global Scholars program or the internship if it wasn’t for her being an inspiration,” stated Mr. Bolden.
