SJSU: Investigating Stereotypes

This unique and continuing Virtual Student Exchange Course connects students in Child Development & Education (ECE304) at MUBS with students in Child & Adolescent Development (ChAD195) at SJSU.
We have developed this exchange because our experience suggests that cultural trait stereotypes held about family life in the Middle East and the United States can be altered to become more differentiated and objective by engaging you as students at MUBS and SJSU in a cooperative, group educational activity, mediated by technology.

Course materials such as the syllabus, assignment instructions, some readings, and captured lectures can be found on Canvas as well as EdX at https://lagunita.stanford.edu/

You will use EdX to schedule meetings with your classmates in order to carry out the group assignments in this class. Please check Moodle and EdX regularly and before to coming to class to learn of any updates.

Testimonials

Our Pride

My sincere gratitude for implementing this program. I was waiting for such a program for so long. I hope we can get more programs and such great opportunity. Maybe also participants over 40 can get such opportunities because some program excludes us due to the age factor.
