Studia w Usa-sylabusy rozdane:)

Zaraz po rozdaniu sylabusow zazwyczaj drukuje sobie kalendarz i wpisuje tam wszystkie daty prac domowych testow itp i wieszam na lodowce aby niczego nie przegapic.
Na poczatku semestru staram sie rowniez walczyc z moja prokrastynacja i odrabiam niektore zadania z wyprzedzeniem.
Gwarantuje to mniej stresu w maju czyli podczas zakonczenia semestru. W ten weekend mam zamiar posiedziec nad psychologia dziecka i powoli zaczac sie przygotowywac do testu ktory ma byc 18 lutego.

Zawsze ciekawily mnie sylabusy takich kierunkow jak psychologia.Mam nadzieje ze i Was tez:)Przedstawiam zatem pewna czesc ich zawartosci:

Sylabus z zajec Child Psychology.Profesorka jest moja advisor do ktorej musze sie udac pod koniec tego semestru.Pani jest troche starej daty i nie zamieszcza niczego online.Trzeba byc na zajeciach non stop aby niczego nie przegapic.

 Po kliknieciu na  sylabusy bedzie je lepiej widac:)

Podoba mi sie ze beda 4 testy i jezeli zalicze je na ocene A to nie musze zdawac egzaminu koncowego.

Zasady dotyczace miedzy innymi uzywania telefonow komorkowych i obecnosci na zajeciach:

I wiecej zasad:

Wiecej info na temat kursu i wymagan :

Sylabus z zajec Intro to Social Work(to sa akurat zajecia z dodatkowej specjalizacji ktora jak juz niektorzy wiedza wzielam bo nie moge sie zdecydowac co bardziej lubie:psychologie czy prace socjalna).Jak na razie zajecia sa super:)

Jak widac profesorka jest bardzo wymagajaca jezeli chodzi o uczestnictwo w zajeciach.Po opuszczeniu wiecej niz 3 wykladow ocena spada w dol i czeka studenta rozmowa na dywaniku u instruktora i dyrektora programu:

W sumie zajecia te nie zapowiadaja sie zbyt ciezko.Wiekszosc to wyklady,troche czytania,testy,sprawozdania i prezentacja w formie kolazu:

Kolejny sylabus z zajec American Social Welfare.Sylabus zawiera 13 stron(pokazuje tylko jego czesc).Jak na razie sa to moje ulubione zajecia.Mimo ze sa one tylko raz w tygodniu to sa 3-godzinne i jak widac w sylabusie ciagle cos jest zadane:

Ciekawa jestem czy widzicie duzo roznic jezeli chodzi o polskie sylabusy?Nigdy nie studiowalam w Polsce wiec nie mam pojecia jakie sa roznice czy podobienstwa.
Pozdrawiam:)
