Many people learn through a
variety of methods. In the age of television and other media, all of
us have become more visual in our learning patterns. Over the years,
I have purchased many videos for my students. I have placed the
materials on Closed Reserve at the Alexandria Campus Library. In the
near future, I will list material that can be found in other NVCC
libraries. How do use the videos? Take notes while you are watching, write a one or two page evaluation of the video, send me your notes and the evaluation by email as an attachment. At this present moment, viewing and reporting on a video will count as credit toward the improvement of any section of the |
|
| three exams. Students will be permitted to substitute a video review for the lowest grade earned on any one section of an exam. | |
