purpose of this course is to learn about supervision in a law enforcement
setting. However, it is also the purpose of this course to increase your
analytical, research and information literacy skills. Each of the required
readings is available online through the Union Institute and University
library and research center. As a Union learner you have access to hundreds
of thousands of pages of academic research material, much of it peer
reviewed. But, you have to learn to access the information. In this
course, although much of the research has been done for you, you are going
to have to find the books and articles. At the Union Institute and
University library and research center you have access to an online
Librarian.
If you get stuck in your search for a book or journal article, contact the
library.
2. Download,
review, sign and follow the mailing instructions on page five.
3. Go to the
Union Institute
and University library and research center
and get logged on.
4. Look over the
course - make yourself a schedule.
5. Take a good
look at the due dates and the course readings; a lot of supervision is time
management - this is a good place to begin
5. You will find
the books in the Gary Library.
6. Use the article
databases to find the articles. Remember if you get stuck, ask a
librarian!
7.
Part of the course is your interaction via a forum with other students.
Although many of them are involved in other types of courses, or taking a
similar course via a different mode of delivery, virtual interaction can
help you place the work in context; and, perhaps more importantly keep you
on track to finish.
