HW for M/W classes--due this Wed (Oct 2), posted to your blog site



For this post assignment, you are asked to first watch this video that was made by 2 students here at Chabot. The movie profiles 6 kinds of community college students. After watching it, please create a post on your own blog that is a response to the movie. Questions you can consider: Which kind of student do you consider yourself to be? How do you feel about being a ___________ kind of student? Do you want to change categories? How might you do so? How can we talk about where students are in their college experience without turning it into a kind of "blamegame?" What role or relationship does Passion play here?

For the second assignment you are asked to read chapters 9 and 10 in our text, Why School? (pages 117-137) One of the things Rose writes about is that there seems to be an impulse in Higher Education to "kick remediation off campus." Write a post in which you discuss whether or not you agree with this idea. (Remember to Rule of 3 this, bc it is a complex argument and you will want to look at it in some depth.)
