Welcome to the Habilitation Process

Student Learning Agreement = NARRATIVE

What is the Student Learning Agreement (SLA)?

The SLA is a process I use in my online teaching to assess student's goals in this class, as well as to find out the expectations each student has from this class. I also use the SLA as a way to improve my teaching and to receive suggestions for issues and themes I can incorporate in the course.

The SLA can be viewed as a Narrative of your expectations in this class, I have structured the SLA in the form of a questionnaire made of 12 questions which you can answer in as much detailed as needed. The SLA is considered as an assignment, A0, for this class.

Procedure to submit your work:

1.- Type the answers to the twelve questions in a Microsoft Word document. You should include your name, course number, and assignment number on the upper right corner as stated in the procedure to Submit Work <http://www.fiu.edu/~longoria/habilitation/assig-submit.htm>
