Artifact:ECA Class Syllabus
Date: Spring of 2009
Rationale: In the spring of 2009, I was hired to teach a developmental math class to high school students at the Early College Alliance at EMU. I was hired one week before I was to begin teaching and I designed and planned my 6-week course in its entirety before my classes began. I am including a copy of syllabus as evidence of my instructional planning skills, as well as a comment regarding my syllabus from one of the other math instructors.

Hi Laura,
I can't remember if I ever told you that I love your syllabus :-) Yup, I'm buttering you up!!!!!!!! Do you mind if I use some of it in my fall syllabus? I just wanted to check in case you do mind (which is totally ok too!).
