    Introduction
    These two courses will be taught as an integrated unit, demonstrating
    to students how theory blends into practice. To get maximal benefit from
    this teaching approach, students are advised to take both courses
    together. For those who have already taken Educ. 422 and wish to take
    Educ. 424, they may do so.
    Please note for Educ. 424, this instructor runs the remedial lab in
    the following manner: One-to-one tutorials with children/adolescents
    diagnosed to have reading problems, one-hour per morning, four
    mornings/week. Location: SFU ?
    SFU students will go in two shifts: 9:00
    - 10:00
    a.m.
    10:00 - 11:00 a.m. SFU students will select the grade level
    that they want to work with..
    The reasons Dr. Wang runs the remedial lab 4 days per week are these:
    (1) In order to discover the effectiveness of the remedial techniques,
    you need at least 3-4 data points per week to monitor reading-disabled
    students remedial progress. (2) Interacting with such children/
    adolescents on a continual basis per week enables you to gain insight into
    their learning modes and performance patterns.. Needless to say, only
    hard-working students should enroll in this remedial lab.
    Objectives of Ethic. 422-4:
    1. To impart knowledge of: a) history and concept of learning
    disabilities
    b) assessments models and methods
    C)

    2.

    3.
