On the final 'work day' before final exams, I have my students do a project in the library. The class has to go in groups of two or three to find a student for a brief interview. The intent is for them to discover things about the library and what it's like to be a full-time student at the Institute. After they've chatted, they must choose useful facts for an incident report detailing their process and interactions. Then, we all walk to the Great Hall in SE 2 for group work on deciding the headings and content for the individual reports. Finally, each student must use our course's 'Internet portal' called myBCIT to save their writing as the final of twelve message-board topics after they go home for the day.
In SE 2, I always attempt to get a class photo. Can you imagine the trouble elementary teachers have when trying to keep students together on an outside adventure? Well, my problem is basically the same when herding adult learners. I am missing four students in the photograph!
