• Readings (EDUC 5153) is a course that allows students to investigate an area of readings interest as an independent study with a faculty member. This course is only accessible to enrolled MEd students who have completed 9 credit hours in their MEd program already. The course contents and assessment scheme are negotiated between student and participating faculty member and are necessarily approved by the Graduate Coordinator. The range of studies and course outputs are widely flexible with the caveat that a seminal reading list forms the foundation of the course. The form below is intended to be a template only which can be shaped to address the desired outcomes of the course with the expectation that there be a rigorous review of the relevant literature and a significant evaluation component that addresses the student's engagement of the topic.

Process Steps:

• Read about faculty interests and areas at: https://education.acadiau.ca/faculty-staff.html

• Download the course proposal form (word.doc)
• Over a meeting with the faculty member, negotiate the contents, deliverables and evaluation of the Readings course
• Submit the signed Proposal form to the Graduate Coordinator via email: graded@acadiau.ca
