A slideshow detailing how to set up and use ebrary on your smartphone.

This site contains Fieldwork I and Fieldwork II course materials. In the Fieldwork and Integrative Seminar, students will discuss the theoretical and practice implications of experiences in the field. Students learn about agency structure and function, the activities of health and human service professionals, and the application of health and human service skills.

This map identifies IL outcomes that are addressed in core first year courses at Guttman. Last updated 1/2/19.

Use this activity to help students distinguish between information types. To prep, identify three web resources (e.g., a newspaper article, scholarly article, published interview, a blog...). Then navigate students to the links (post them to eportfolio or Blackboard) and ask them to answer the questions on the following handout. Alternatively, assign this handout as a research log and ask students to use it to record citation information for the sources they select for their research.

This course introduces the student to the basic subject matter, questions, and assumptions of study common to Philosophy and the Humanities. Through a preliminary inquiry into how writers, historians, and philosophers represent an idea, such as the construction of knowledge, students will become familiar with how the humanities employ questions of form, effect, affect, and value. This course includes Experiential Learning Opportunities (ELO) with the goal of a more transformational and engaged learning experience.

Upon completion of this module the students will be able to know: State and understand the postulates of Dalton’s atomic theory of matter, Name and characterize the fundamental subatomic particles, Determine the number of electrons, protons and neutrons based on mass and atomic numbers, Define and recognize isotopes of the same and different elements, Define the atomic mass unit and its relation to the gram, Calculate average atomic masses of elements given their isotopes and their abundances, Describe the general structure of the periodic table of the elements, Distinguish between groups and rows in the periodic table, Classify elements as main group, transition, or inner transition elements (lanthanides or actinides), as alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, chalcogens, halogens, or noble gases, and as metals, nonmetals or metalloids, Distinguish between atomic number, atomic weight, and atomic symbol.

What is chemistry? Chemistry is the study of matter, so now the next question is what is matter? In this unit, we will discuss pure substances and mixtures, as well as physical and chemical properties.

The following learning activities are PowerPoint slides and video that emphasize various topics in Measurements--The Metric Sysytem and SI units; Converting Units; Significant Figures; Measuring Volume and Mass; Density and Specific gravity; Measuring Temperature. Each includes basic concepts and learning checks to test your progress.

This course will provide students with an in depth understanding of the fundamental concepts and‐computational methods of statistics. These concepts will be developed through the question of how toestimate an unknown quantity using sample data. Students will learn to incorporate the foundationalconcepts of mathematics with statistical analysis to describe and solve real-life problems and questions.Students will be taught to use estimation as well as to be precise and accurate. The course will also focuson teaching math study skills so students may assess and enhance their learning, their processes andtheir results.

This course will provide students with an in-depth understanding of the fundamental concepts and computational methods of statistics. These concepts will be developed through the question of how to estimate an unknown quantity using sample data. Students will learn to incorporate the foundational concepts of mathematics with statistical analysis to describe and solve real-life problems and questions. The topics addressed include: displaying categorical data using tables, bar graphs, and circle graphs; drawing conclusions about categorical data; displaying quantitative data using dot plots, stem-and-leaf plots, histograms and box-and-whisker plots; describing data distributions using measures of center (mode, mean, and median) and measures of spread (standard deviation, range and IQR); Displaying bivariate data using scatterplots; analyzing bivariate data using linear regression; elementary probability; normal probability distributions, sampling distributions; confidence intervals and hypothesis testing of the proportion and the mean.

This course introduces students to the use of computers and other information systems and technologies to solve problems in organizations. Topics include management information systems (MIS), hardware and software concepts, and organization of information using systems analysis and design, electronic commerce, and contemporary applications of technology in organizational environments. Students will explore ethical perspectives and globalization issues and will cultivate an awareness of emerging processes. Working individually and in groups, students will apply their knowledge through writing assignments, conducting information and organizational analyses and developing, where appropriate, applications using widely used spreadsheets, data presentation, and database management software.

From a pedagogical research standpoint, this site can serve as a database of qualitative data for Math Educators everywhere to draw from in their conversations surrounding the relationship students have with math.

In this project, students in General Chemistry will explore the development of a facile, eco-friendly, and simple preparation method of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) from a mixture of waste cooking oil and orange waste peels. Orange waste peels are one of the most underutilized bio-waste residues on earth, therefore, it would make better sense to utilize a mixture of the two wastes.

A People’s History of New York City traces the history of NYC through the experiences of Immigrant and Migrant communities. By tracing common threads between these groups the City’s modern relevance, as well as its present tensions is unveiled. Highlighted are economic and social struggles for equity, justice and liberation from the marginalized groups who allowed for the creation of arguably the most significant metropolis of the present era.

Use this activity to help student recognize various types (genres) of information and how they may be useful in the research process.

Lesson Plan: Use to help students distinguish between primary and secondary sources so they know how to use them in the appropriate context. "Wheel of sources" game: Created by UCLA librarians, this interactive game helps tests students knowledge about primary and secondary sources. Associated lesson plan is listed above.

Use this lesson to help students distinguish between primary and secondary sources and use them in them in the appropriate context.

This is a very brief PowerPoint covering some key ideas in Machiavelli's THE PRINCE.

These presentation materials were used to create an online tutorial for undergraduate students about how to evaluate the authority of an information source. It includes a PowerPoint presentation and lecture notes on an event-driven publication cycle and uses the death of pop star Michael Jackson as its primary example. This resource was designed with the Association of College & Research Libraries' Framework for Information Literacy (2015) in mind and addresses two of the threshold concepts that the Framework identifies: 1) "Authority is Constructed and Contextual," and 2) "Information Creation as a Process." These materials can be easily adapted for lower-level and upper-level students, for in-person or online instruction, to support learning outcomes related to identifying information types and/or evaluating information.
