All UWP Classes, Fall 2001 Report of Learning (ROL)
All UWP Classes, web assigned readings:
- Keep in mind:
** the 5Cs: competency, consistency, cooperation, communication, and creativity.
** Bloom and Krathwohl's Taxonomy of Learning: latent learning, recognition, recall, application, analysis, evaluation, and synthesis.Reports of Learning (ROL) must be interactive and interdependent. You are responsible for telling me what you have accomplished, verifying it with your journal, and then emailing me a brief ROL. A ROL must be interactive to be effective. By writing your own ROL and negotiating it with me, means that you must assume responsibility for your learning by giving me detailed evidence of your learning.

Color of Death (due Monday, November 19th). 1) From page 225 in Walker's Color of Justice: Echoing Justice Blackmun, they have argued that "the most profound expression of racial discrimination in sentencing occurs in the use of capital punishment." What is your response to this quote? Why. Based on the readings and other materials, do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why. 2) Consider the five remedies for racial discrimination in capital sentencing (See Box 8.5). What do you believe is the appropriate remedy? Why. What would Kennedy support? Why. (Question #5; Walker, p. 255). 3) In the Kennedy book on page 342, Kenneth Culp Davis states: "... The power to be lenient is the power to discriminate." Do you agree or disagree with this statement as it relates to race and the death penalty? Why.
Corrections and Race (due Monday, November 26th). 1) If the "War on Drugs" refers to a policy, what is the underlying theory, and ultimately, what goes on in practice? Why. 2) What policies can be created from the principles of restorative justice (based on indigenous justice principles)? Are these values more compatible with some types of offenses than others? More appropriate for some types of offenders than others? What would Fellman say? Why. [Question is from Walker, question 4 on page 282]. 3) How does one explain the "overrepresentation" of peoples of color in prisons from the point of view of theory, policy, and practice?
