College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences 2015-2016 Catalog

136 specialized long- and short-term objectives and goals. The student’s goals today will likely be different from the goals he or she will have a few years from now, so this plan must be fluid and must reflect the student’s academic and professional growth. The Career Development Program works with NSU’s Office of Career Development. Career Cafes are opportunities to meet practitioners and learn more about specific career paths and opportunities. We bring in local professionals and encourage our students to work closely with staff in NSU’s Office of Career Development. The Career Connection is an online resource for DMS students and alumni, providing lists of jobs, hyperlinks, resource lists, references to helpful books and materials, and periodically offers online chats and workshops. In order to participate in Career Connections you must be our student or graduate and you must request to be added to the web environment. You may visit NSU’s Office of Career Development at: http://www.nova.edu/career/index.html The Writing Lab CAHSS provides free writing assistance for students through The Writing Lab. The lab is offered weekly on campus, online via Blackboard, and as a live online chat. There are also workshops scheduled each term on various writing topics, including at each Residential Institute. For more information please contact the Department of Multidisciplinary Studies. CAHSS Online In an effort to offer students, graduates, faculty, and staff greater access to important information, CAHSS provides a comprehensive World Wide Web homepage ( http://CAHSS.nova.edu ) , which contains all the necessary information. The CAHSS Web pages are home to a number of unique online resources created and developed here at the school. The following is a list that students may find useful and interesting:  Career Development Program  CAHSS Dialogs  Brief Therapy Institute  Community Resolution Services  Community Outreach  Employment Opportunities at CAHSS: http://CAHSS.nova.edu/AboutCAHSS/employ.htm  NSU Distance Library Services: http://www.nova.edu/library/eleclib/  NSU Computer Help Desk: http://www.nova.edu/help/ Student Evaluation of Classes and Practicums At the end of each term, students are given the opportunity to provide the program with their comments about the courses they took. The student’s anonymity is strictly protected in the following ways: a) no names are required on the evaluation; b) all evaluations are completed on a secure website; c) faculty members do not receive an overall summary of the evaluations until after grades have been submitted to the Registrar. Student feedback is welcomed and considered very valuable.
