[Sehefac] Course Assignments Sharing

[chikako.takeshita at ucr.edu]

Hi everyone,
I have two separate projects on course assignment sharing that I want
to inform you about.

1. As I mentioned at the Department Meeting, I am creating a repository for
upper-division SEHE course projects so that students who take the capstone
course can build on one of the assignments they completed in the past.
Whoever is teaching SEHE193 that year (me) should send out this survey form
at the end of each preceding quarter to collect information on projects
that students completed for our colleagues' courses. *If you taught a SEHE
upper-division course this quarter *(and last year, if you can remember)*,
please fill out the survey below. *If I should send this form to any other
instructors, please let me know, or forward it to them.
My resposes for SEHE105  can be seen here: Response Example

Course Project Survey Form <https://forms.gle/ef16wpFeh1fk6Q3p9> *(*For all
colleagues who taught (or are teaching) a SEHE upper-division course)

2. I have created a community Canvas site called
SEHE_Course_Assignment_Repository. (You should have received invitations)
It is mainly for sharing assignments that are meant to be consistent across
classes. I shared my Professional Development Assignments for SEHE105, 106,
and 110, as well as the Lifestyle Change Project for SEHE001. Instructors
for these classes can copy the assignments into their own course Canvas
site and use them withs mall modifications such as changing the due dates
and the TA's names. If you have assignments you think can be communal, feel
free to copy them into the site as well.

The SEHE105, 106, & 110 assignments cover the third-year career development
for SEHE majors. It includes creating an ePortolio from the template,
writing the about me page, Career Center's Searching for Jobs video, an
assignment searching for jobs, writing the experience they want to get on
the ePortfolio Experience page, Career Center Networking Video, an
assignment searching UCR alum LinkedIn page for interesting people to
network with, developing an informational interview script for one of them,
setting up a LinkedIn Profile, and uploading the course project to the
ePortfolio research page. The assignments were spread out over the quarter;
they were not graded (complete/incomplete) and counted for 25% of the final
grade. I have to say that *students loved* doing these assignments. So
please use them if you are teaching 105, 106, or 110. Don't reinvent the
wheel.

The Lifestyle Change Project worked out well among SEHE001 students, and
most said they will continue incorporating sustainable options into their
lifestyles. The person who started this assignment is René Beccera, who
taught in Summer 24. I modified it and used it twice in Spring and Fall 25.
Please let any lecturers for SEHE001 know that they are welcome to use the
same assignment if they wish.

Sorry about the long email.
