Practicum Plan

I think the practicum plan as a whole was a great idea for us that had the intention of being very beneficial. However, I feel it wasn’t necessary. It just caused me more confusion in what the expectations were within the assignment. We have the checklist and syllabus that tells us due dates and what assignments we are to do and what is entailed in each one so I do not feel creating an additional assignment for us to organize it helped much.

I already have a homework agenda where I write down everything anyways so this was just extra work for me. I understand this may have benefited some students who maybe don’t write things down on their own but I feel we should have had the option then on how to complete the assignment so it is effective for our personal use. I think if we were provided with multiple options then this definitely is a great way to get us all started. For the future I would keep this assignment but make adjustments to the format. I also think it should be shown and completed within the first two weeks so right from the beginning before all the assignments start building up then we are already prepared and aware of what to expect.
