Concerning the Learning Plan
This entry is about the learning plan and the concerns I have about it. I do not think it is fair to give us so much material to cover and then tell us it can only be 15 pages long. I have talked to people who have taken the class in the past, and they told me they turned in much lengthier papers. It just does not seem possible for me to fit all the criteria in 15 pages. Especially when the prof. and TA's want us to personalize it and be creative. I also do not like the fact that we are not sure what will happen if we do go over the limit. We were just told to use our best judgement. Does that mean we will get points off?

Alan, I could not agree with you more. A lot of points were deducted from my paper because it was not creative. In fact, there were numerous comments on it that said to elaborate. As I finished my learning plan it ended up being 22 pages. I thought that this would be fine until they announced it should only be fifteen. I think that is very unfair. Also, you are right about the instructors clarity on what would happen if we exceed fifteen pages. I think they need to tell us exactly what will happen and if it really has to be fifteen pages or less.
