The CSU has made substantial progress on improving preparation for college through the Early Assessment Program (EAP). Similarly, a streamlining of the transfer process is well underway through the Lower-Division Transfer Patterns (LDTP) project. The final piece in this triad is Campus Actions to Facilitate Graduation (CAFG).During the 2005-06 academic year, CAFG efforts will focus on three major initiatives: Written reports, submitted by the campuses, that summarize their progress in facilitating student achievement of the baccalaureate degree Accreditation-style team visits to campuses, during which campus policies and outcomes pertaining to student achievement of the baccalaureate will be reviewed Reports by campus presidents to the Board of Trustees, focusing on campus successes in facilitating student achievement of the baccalaureate degreeThe framework for the campus plans can be found at: http://www.calstate.edu/AcadAff/codedmemos/AA-2005-21.pdf http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=706689 Project website - California State University and California Community Colleges joint work on general education transfer curriculum. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=761953 Abstract: Failure to complete a dissertation or other required research project is a major factor contributing to doctoral program attrition. The challenges of planning and carrying out a research project are daunting for many traditional students and may be increased for students in part-time, predominantly online doctoral programs. This paper describes the Ewing Model© developed and implemented in the Doctor of Health Sciences program at A.T. Still University. The Model is characterized by a highly structured, sequential curriculum; intense facilitation and dialogue; collaborative learning within a cohort model; and performance-based assessment of core research competencies. The Ewing Model benefits students and the University by ensuring that students gain important research competencies and by contributing to high program completion and low attrition rates. Challenges of implementing the Model include addressing students' inexperience with research and scholarly writing, adhering to research ethics, assisting students with defining a manageable project, and navigating a three-person internal/external committee. Preliminary results of the Model have been positive, with a current graduation rate of 73% and positive student feedback regarding the structure and design of the Model.Vol. 8, No 1, March 2012, pp. 34-44HTML / PDF http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=609682 Neuroscience is a comprehensive lecture and laboratory course that provides an integrated multidisciplinary study of the structure and functional relationships of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Essential to a proper understanding of Neurosciences is the ability to classify, correlate, associate and link the various entities and modules, much the same way as normal human cognition works in real life. This subject assumes basic knowledge of anatomy of Head and Cranial nerves. The syllabus is divided into easily understandable modules based on Snell’s chapter, supplemented by Board Review Series. Neurobiology and neurophysiology, brain metabolism, and the effects of damage and disease on cells of the central nervous system are covered in detail in the initial part of the course. Students are also introduced to techniques of neuro-imaging and taught introductory clinical assessment during this time. Thereafter the entire central nervous system, from spinal cord upwards to the cerebral cortex, is covered in minute detail. Each component of CNS is subdivided into two parts; the normal concepts and the pertinent clinical correlations. Knowledge is imparted by comprehensive techniques that utilize visual, verbal, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles of individuals. Learning is enhanced through laboratory gross brain dissection, imaging techniques and discussion of clinical correlations. Research skills are honed by subjecting students to a small project work, which they have to present towards the end of the course. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=290441 ReachHigher, a degree completion program for working adults is offered by Oklahoma's public universities.
