Student Learning Outcomes | ||
Student Learning Outcomes: |
* Student in the course:
- Can locate and critically evaluate information
Please explain briefly how this outcome will be addressed in the course. Give brief examples of class work related to the outcome. Students will be able to make rheological measurements using modern rheometers, to evaluate the quality of their data and to recognize common errors. Students will be able to interpret their data with common rheological models and relate their results to molecular and microstructural aspects of materials. How will you assess the students' learning related to this outcome? Give brief examples of how class work related to the outcome will be evaluated. Through evaluation of oral and written report on their project. |

Criteria for Theme Courses: |
Describe how the course meets the specific bullet points for the proposed theme
requirement. Give concrete and detailed examples for the course syllabus, detailed outline,

<no text provided> |
|
Writing Intensive | ||
Propose this course as Writing Intensive curriculum: |
No | |
Question 1 (see CWB Requirement 1): |
How do writing assignments and writing instruction further the learning objectives
of this course and how is writing integrated into the course? Note that the syllabus must
reflect the critical role that writing plays in the course. <no text provided> |
|
Question 2 (see CWB Requirement 2): |
What types of writing (e.g., research papers, problem sets, presentations,
technical documents, lab reports, essays, journaling etc.) will be assigned? Explain how these
assignments meet the requirement that writing be a significant part of the course work, including
details about multi-authored assignments, if any. Include the required length for each writing
assignment and demonstrate how the minimum word count (or its equivalent) for finished writing will
be met. <no text provided> |
|
Question 3 (see CWB Requirement 3): |
How will students' final course grade depend on their writing performance?
What percentage of the course grade will depend on the quality and level of the student's writing
compared to the percentage of the grade that depends on the course content? Note that this information
must also be on the syllabus. <no text provided> |
|
Question 4 (see CWB Requirement 4): |
Indicate which assignment(s) students will be required to revise and resubmit after
feedback from the instructor. Indicate who will be providing the feedback. Include an example of the
assignment instructions you are likely to use for this assignment or assignments. <no text provided> |
|
Question 5 (see CWB Requirement 5): |
What types of writing instruction will be experienced by students? How much class
time will be devoted to explicit writing instruction and at what points in the semester? What types of
writing support and resources will be provided to students? <no text provided> |
|
Question 6 (see CWB Requirement 6): |
If teaching assistants will participate in writing assessment and writing instruction,
explain how will they be trained (e.g. in how to review, grade and respond to student writing) and how will
they be supervised. If the course is taught in multiple sections with multiple faculty (e.g. a capstone
directed studies course), explain how every faculty mentor will ensure that their students will receive
a writing intensive experience. <no text provided> |

Course Syllabus | ||
Course Syllabus: |
For new courses and courses in which changes in content and/or description and/or credits
are proposed, please provide a syllabus that includes the following information: course goals
and description; format;structure of the course (proposed number of instructor contact
hours per week, student workload effort per week, etc.); topics to be covered; scope and
nature of assigned readings (text, authors, frequency, amount per week); required course
assignments; nature of any student projects; and how students will be
evaluated. The University "Syllabi Policy" can be
found here
The University policy on credits is found under Section 4A of "Standards for Semester Conversion" found here. Course syllabus information will be retained in this system until new syllabus information is entered with the next major course modification. This course syllabus information may not correspond to the course as offered in a particular semester. (Please limit text to about 12 pages. Text copied and pasted from other sources will not retain formatting and special characters might not copy properly.) During the first half of the semester students will be enrolled in 8102 Principles and Applications of Rheology. Through 8102 lectures and through additional sessions in the rheology laboratory they will be introduced to the various rheometers and learn their operation. By mid semester they will determine the topic and scope of their project. They will meet with the instructor then turn in an abstract for the experimental rheology project the week before Spring break. The project will include a description of the material(s) and the rheological material functions studied and why they were chosen. It will include some exploration of both linear and non-linear rheological phenomena. Students will schedule instrument time in the rheology laboratory in consultation with instructor. Students will present orally results and their interpretation in terms of constitutive models and microstructural interpretation 14th week of semester. They will submit written report last week of semester. |

Strategic Objectives - Curricular Objectives: |
How does adding this course improve the overall curricular objectives ofthe unit? <no text provided> |
|
Strategic Objectives - Core Curriculum: |
Does the unit consider this course to be part of its core curriculum? <no text provided> |
|
Strategic Objectives - Consultation with Other Units: |
In order to prevent course overlap and to inform other departments of new
curriculum, circulate proposal to chairs in relevant units and follow-up with direct
consultation. Please summarize response from units consulted and include correspondence. By
consultation with other units, the information about a new course is more widely disseminated
and can have a positive impact on enrollments. The consultation can be as simple as an
email to the department chair informing them of the course and asking for any feedback
from the faculty. <no text provided> |
