Descripción de las Normas del Curso:

1. Este curso sigue el modelo “Discipline-Based Dual-Language Immersion

Model®” del Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez, el mismo esta

diseñado para promover el desarrollo de cada estudiante como un

profesional bilingüe. Cada taller será facilitado en inglés y español,

utilizando el modelo 50/50. Esto significa que cada taller deberá ser

conducido enteramente en el lenguaje especificado. Los lenguajes serán

alternados en cada taller para asegurar que el curso se ofrece 50% en

inglés y 50% en español. Para mantener un balance, el módulo debe

especificar que se utilizarán ambos idiomas en el quinto taller, dividiendo

el tiempo y las actividades equitativamente entre ambos idiomas. Si un

estudiante tiene dificultad en hacer una pregunta en el idioma

especificado, bien puede escoger el idioma de preferencia para hacer la

pregunta. Sin embargo, el facilitador deberá contestar la misma en el

idioma designado para ese taller. Esto deberá ser una excepción a las

reglas pues es importante que los estudiantes utilicen el idioma

designado. Esto no aplica a los cursos de lenguaje que deben ser

desarrollados en el idioma propio todo en inglés o todo en español según

aplique.

2. El curso es conducido en formato acelerado, eso requiere que los

estudiantes se preparen antes de cada taller de acuerdo al módulo. Cada

ACCO 706 Advanced Auditing I 5

Prep. 2008. Carlos Avila, MBA

taller requiere un promedio de diez (10) horas de preparación y en

ocasiones requiere más.

3. La asistencia a todos los talleres es obligatoria. El estudiante que se

ausente al taller deberá presentar una excusa razonable al facilitador. El

facilitador evaluará si la ausencia es justificada y decidirá como el

estudiante repondrá el trabajo perdido, de ser necesario. El facilitador

decidirá uno de los siguientes: permitirle al estudiante reponer el trabajo o

asignarle trabajo adicional en adición al trabajo a ser repuesto. Toda

tarea a ser completada antes del taller deberá ser entregada en la fecha

asignada. El facilitador ajustará la nota de las tareas repuestas.

4. Si un estudiante se ausenta a más de un taller el facilitador tendrá las

siguientes opciones:

a. Si es a dos talleres, el facilitador reducirá una nota por debajo basado en

la nota existente.

b. Si el estudiante se ausenta a tres talleres, el facilitador reducirá la nota a

dos por debajo de la nota existente.

5. La asistencia y participación en clase de actividades y presentaciones

orales es extremadamente importante pues no se pueden reponer. Si el

estudiante provee una excusa válida y verificable, el facilitador

determinará una actividad equivalente a evaluar que sustituya la misma.

Esta actividad deberá incluir el mismo contenido y componentes del

lenguaje como la presentación oral o actividad a ser repuesta.

6. En actividades de grupo el grupo será evaluado por su trabajo final. Sin

embargo, cada miembro de grupo deberá participar y cooperar para lograr

un trabajo de excelencia, pero recibirán una calificación individual.

7. Se espera que todo trabajo escrito sea de la autoría de cada estudiante y

no plagiado. Se debe entender que todo trabajo sometido esta citado

apropiadamente o parafraseado y citado dando atención al autor. Todo

estudiante debe ser el autor de su propio trabajo. Todo trabajo que sea

plagiado, copiado o presente trazos de otro será calificado con cero (vea

la política de honestidad académica).

ACCO 706 Advanced Auditing I 6

Prep. 2008. Carlos Avila, MBA

8. Si el facilitador hace cambios al módulo o guía de estudio, deberá

discutirlos y entregar copia a los estudiantes por escrito al principio del

primer taller.

9. El facilitador establecerá los medios para contactar a los estudiantes

proveyendo su correo electrónico, teléfonos, y el horario disponibles.

10. El uso de celulares esta prohibido durante las sesiones de clase; de haber

una necesidad, deberá permanecer en vibración o en silencio.

11. La visita de niños y familiares no registrados en el curso no está permitida

en el salón de clases.

12. Todo estudiante esta sujeto a las políticas y normas de conducta y

comportamiento que rigen al SUAGM y el curso.

Filosofía y Metodología Educativa:

Este curso está basado en la teoría educativa del Constructivismo.

Constructivismo es una filosofía de aprendizaje fundamentada en la premisa, de que,

reflexionando a través de nuestras experiencias, podemos construir nuestro propio

conocimiento sobre el mundo en el que vivimos.

Cada uno de nosotros genera nuestras propias “reglas “y “métodos mentales”

que utilizamos para darle sentido a nuestras experiencias. Aprender, por lo tanto, es

simplemente el proceso de ajustar nuestros modelos mentales para poder acomodar

nuevas experiencias. Como facilitadores, nuestro enfoque es el mantener una

conexión entre los hechos y fomentar un nuevo entendimiento en los estudiantes.

También, intentamos adaptar nuestras estrategias de enseñanza a las respuestas de

nuestros estudiantes y motivar a los mismos a analizar, interpretar y predecir

información.

Existen varios principios para el constructivismo, entre los cuales están:

1. El aprendizaje es una búsqueda de significados. Por lo tanto, el

aprendizaje debe comenzar con situaciones en las cuales los estudiantes

estén buscando activamente construir un significado.

2. Significado requiere comprender todas las partes. Y, las partes deben

entenderse en el contexto del todo. Por lo tanto, el proceso de

aprendizaje se enfoca en los conceptos primarios, no en hechos aislados.

3. Para enseñar bien, debemos entender los modelos mentales que los

estudiantes utilizan para percibir el mundo y las presunciones que ellos

hacen para apoyar dichos modelos.

4. El propósito del aprendizaje, es para un individuo, el construir su propio

significado, no sólo memorizar las contestaciones “correctas” y repetir el

significado de otra persona. Como la educación es intrínsicamente

interdisciplinaria, la única forma válida para asegurar el aprendizaje es

hacer del avalúo parte esencial de dicho proceso, asegurando que el

mismo provea a los estudiantes con la información sobre la calidad de su

aprendizaje.

5. La evaluación debe servir como una herramienta de auto-análisis.

ACCO 706 Advanced Auditing I 8

Prep. 2008. Carlos Avila, MBA

6. Proveer herramientas y ambientes que ayuden a los estudiantes a

interpretar las múltiples perspectivas que existen en el mundo.

7. El aprendizaje debe ser controlado internamente y analizado por el

estudiante.

Scale:

Description of course policies:

1. This course follows the Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez Discipline-

Based Dual-Language Immersion Model® designed to promote each

student’s development as a Dual Language Professional. Workshops will

be facilitated in English and Spanish, strictly using the 50/50 model. This

means that each workshop will be conducted entirely in the language

specified. The language used in the workshops will alternate to insure

that 50% of the course will be conducted in English and 50% in Spanish.

To maintain this balance, the course module may specify that both

languages will be used during the fifth workshop, dividing that workshop’s

time and activities between the two languages. If students have difficulty

with asking a question in the target language in which the activity is being

conducted, students may choose to use their preferred language for that

particular question. However, the facilitator must answer in the language

assigned for that particular day. This should only be an exception as it is

important for students to use the assigned language. The 50/50 model

does not apply to language courses where the delivery of instruction must

be conducted in the language taught (Spanish or English only).

2. The course is conducted in an accelerated format and requires that

students prepare in advance for each workshop according to the course

module. Each workshop requires an average ten hours of preparation but

could require more.

3. Attendance at all class sessions is mandatory. A student that is absent to

a workshop must present the facilitator a reasonable excuse. The

facilitator will evaluate if the absence is justified and decide how the

student will make up the missing work, if applicable. The facilitator will

decide on the following: allow the student to make up the work, or allow

the student to make up the work and assign extra work to compensate for

the missing class time. Assignments required prior to the workshop must

ACCO 706 Advanced Auditing I 11

Prep. 2008. Carlos Avila, MBA

be completed and turned in on the assigned date. The facilitator may

decide to adjust the grade given for late assignments and make-up work.

4. If a student is absent to more than one workshop the facilitator will have

the following options:

a. If a student misses two workshops, the facilitator may lower one grade

based on the students existing grade.

b. If the student misses three workshops, the facilitator may lower two

grades based on the students existing grade.

5. Student attendance and participation in oral presentations and special

class activities are extremely important as it is not possible to assure that

they can be made up. If the student provides a valid and verifiable excuse,

the facilitator may determine a substitute evaluation activity if he/she

understands that an equivalent activity is possible. This activity must

include the same content and language components as the oral

presentation or special activity that was missed.

6. In cooperative activities the group will be assessed for their final work.

However, each member will have to collaborate to assure the success of

the group and the assessment will be done collectively as well as

individually.

7. It is expected that all written work will be solely that of the student and

should not be plagiarized. That is, the student must be the author of all

work submitted. All quoted or paraphrased material must be properly

cited, with credit given to its author or publisher. It should be noted that

plagiarized writings are easily detectable and students should not risk

losing credit for material that is clearly not their own (see Academic

Honesty Policy).

8. If the Facilitator makes changes to the study guide, such changes should

be discussed with and given to students in writing at the beginning of the

first workshop.

9. The facilitator will establish a means of contacting students by providing

an email address, phone number, hours to be contacted and days.

ACCO 706 Advanced Auditing I 12

Prep. 2008. Carlos Avila, MBA

10. The use of cellular phones is prohibited during sessions; if there is a need

to have one, it must be on vibrate or silent mode during class session.

11. Children or family members that are not registered in the course are not

allowed to the classrooms.

12. All students are subject to the policies regarding behavior in the university

community established by the institution and in this course.

Teaching Philosophy and Methodology:

This course is grounded in the learning theory of Constructivism. Constructivism

is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by reflecting on our

experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world in which we live.

Each of us generates our own “rules” and “mental models,” which we use to make

sense of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of adjusting our

mental models to accommodate new experiences. As teachers, our focus is on making

connections between facts and fostering new understanding in students. We will also

attempt to tailor our teaching strategies to student responses and encourage students to

analyze, interpret and predict information.

ACCO 706 Advanced Auditing I 13

Prep. 2008. Carlos Avila, MBA

There are several guiding principles of constructivism:

1. Learning is a search for meaning. Therefore, learning must start with the

issues around which students are actively trying to construct meaning.

2. Meaning requires understanding wholes as well as parts. And parts must

be understood in the context of wholes. Therefore, the learning process

focuses on primary concepts, not isolated facts.

3. In order to teach well, we must understand the mental models that

students use to perceive the world and the assumptions they make to

support those models.

4. The purpose of learning is for an individual to construct his or her own

meaning, not just memorize the "right" answers and regurgitate someone

else's meaning. Since education is inherently interdisciplinary, the only

valuable way to measure learning is to make the assessment part of the

learning process, ensuring it provides students with information on the

quality of their learning.

5. Evaluation should serve as a self-analysis tool.

6. Provide tools and environments that help learners interpret the multiple

perspectives of the world.

7. Learning should be internally controlled and mediated by the learner.

PORTFOLIO

Guidelines to prepare the portfolio

1. Determination of sources of content

The following, but not limited to, documentation will be included:

a. Projects, surveys, and reports.

b. Oral presentations

c. Essays: dated writing samples to show progress

d. Research papers: dated unedited and edited first drafts to show progress

e. Written pieces that illustrate critical thinking about readings: response or

reaction papers.

f. Class notes, interesting thoughts to remember, etc.

g. Learning journals, reflexive diaries.

h. Self assessments, peer assessments, facilitator assessments.

i. Notes from student-facilitator conferences.

2. Organization of documentation

Documentation will be organized by workshop, and by type of assignment within

workshops. Workshops will be separated from one another using construction paper

or paper of different colors, with tabs indicating the workshop number.

3. Presentation of the portfolio

• Documentation will be posted in a binder or in a digital version (e-portfolio).

• The cover page will follow exactly APA guidelines applied to a cover page of

research papers submitted at Metro Orlando Campus. This cover page will be

placed at the beginning of the portfolio.

• The entire portfolio will follow APA style: Courier or Times New Roman font,

size 12, double space, and 1-inch margins. See a “Publication Manual of the

APA, Fifth Edition”

• A log of entries that can be expanded with each new entry properly

numbered. The table, which should be located at the beginning, should

include a brief description, date produced, date submitted, and date evaluated

(see the following rubrics).

ACCO 706 Advanced Auditing I 38

Prep. 2008. Carlos Avila, MBA

• Introduction and conclusion of the income and outcome of the portfolio.

• A list of references and appendixes of all assignments included will be added

to the end of the portfolio.

• The Portfolio Informational Sheet will be placed in the transparent front pocket

of the binder for identification purposes (see the following rubrics).

4. Student-Facilitator Feedback Template: Progression follow-up

The final step in implementing portfolios, before returning them to the student or

school life, is sharing feedback with each student to review the contents, student

reflections, and your evaluations of individual items and all of the work together as

related to learning targets (Banks, 2005).

Facilitators will e-mail a feedback template to all students. This template will contain

information pertaining to weaknesses and strengths found in students’ portfolios

(see the following rubrics).. Facilitators will focus their attention on showing students

what is possible and their progress rather than what is wrong; however, this does not

mean that facilitators will not cover weaknesses and areas for improvement during

the conference. Facilitators will send this feedback template upon completion of

workshop one.

Students will also have the opportunity to respond to the facilitator’s feedback and

write their own comments and/or ideas of how to improve the quality of their

portfolios, and how to become better metacognitive learners on the feedback

template. Students will e-mail the template with their comments back to the facilitator

after every workshop.

5. Portfolio storage:

• Portfolio samples will be safely stored for a six-month term on campus.

• Students will sign an official document empowering Ana G. Mendez

University System with rights to use their portfolios with educational or

accreditation purposes during this term (see the following rubrics).

• After this term, and if their authors authorize Ana G. Mendez University

System to discard their portfolios by signing an official document, portfolio

samples will be destroyed; otherwise, they will be returned to their original

authors (see the following rubrics).
