Academic Planning

Because this is a difficult course, you are encouraged to do a good amount of academic planning. What is academic planning? Academic planning is the use of certain organizational tools that allow you to keep track of each assignment, it’s final due date, and the time that you will need to set aside before the due date, if you hope to complete the assignment by the due date. You must engage in academic planning if you hope to pass this class. It will be impossible for you to pass this class without doing some academic planning.

Amber Maiden was also a writing and literature professor at Northern Virginia Community College, where she served in leadership positions on the Achieving the Dream Committee and the Adjunct Faculty Counsel. Amber’s passion for teaching, learning and consulting in the higher ed environment, occurred primarily through the penning of a memoir, The Way Through, Lessons Learned on Life Love and the Journey. Through her own writing process, she was able to transform her own psychological traumas and scars that resulted from childhood experiences with domestic violence. Now, she teaches others to do the same. It is through this work that she has been able to make thousands of meaningful connections with students encountering, enduring and surviving domestic violence, institutional violence and other types of personal violence and sexual assault. Based on this memoir, Amber has created a workshop: The Way Through, Lessons, Learned on Life Love and the Journey of Healing from Domestic and Intimate Violence, that is one of many products that is offered as a product under the Alchemy Enterprise brand. It is a workshop for students who are in the process of healing from intimate violence in their lives.
