I'm at the Ocala campus for St. Leo in the Middle Grades Math Education program. While the internship opportunities provided by the school are amazing the rest of the program is completely irresponsible.The way the school works is one person or committee designs all the assignments for the course the hands the rubric to the instructor who then gives the assignment to the students. The instructors are given no training or verbal instruction on how the assignment is to completed other than the rubric and description given to them in the syllabus about a week before the semester begins. The language in these assignments are confusing and often times the assignments themselves are impossible to complete. Currently I have 3 assignments that I am currently working on where I have been told by the instructors just to make stuff up to get credit. For example the assignment I'm working on now I have to teach a lesson using a manipulative and then electronically collect data on how well the students performed, mathematical errors made, and includes the prerequisite skills needed. However the technology to complete this assignment is not provided to us so now I am doing what I was told to do by my instructor… make up charts and graphs fabricating errors and results. Spending 4 hours on an assignment making up results is not an acceptable way to have an assignment designed.
