Lindemann Chapter 13

Lindemann’s writing assignment expectations resonates the student learning outcomes (SLOs) as well as in my teaching philosophy. The SLOs address the expectations of students on a much boarder basis, but I must say, after reading the chapter, I am compelled to revisit my teacher philosophy to add precision to what I am attempting to achieve. It makes perfect sense to inform the students of what is expected of them, not only in the academic institution, the classroom, but also the specific assignments. My practice has always been to inform the students of the learning goals. I firmly believe that if a student is clear on what is expected of them and what they are learning, the purpose of the assignment not only becomes clear, but the student can recognize if there is a need for improvement. Lindemann forces me to put more thought into the development of the assignment. Yes, there is more thought and time put into creating the assignment, but in the end, the only thing may need to do is some fine tuning of the initial assignment.
