course name: Songs of Protest, Songs of Praise.
the professor’s instruction below:
Taking a course is about learning new things, encountering new ideas, and new people as well–not just the other class members, but, in this class, singers and song types. You’ve reflected already on music as a personally and socially. This time I’d like to have you take it to a new level, because I’m curious about what you will be taking with you when you walk out this door for the last time. So here’s what I’d like to have you do.

Thinking back over the songs and performers you’ve encountered this semester, which five do you expect you’ll remember ten or more years from now? Consider any reason–lyrics, the emotional nature of the performance, anything at all. There are videos for many songs on the websites, and others, no doubt, in your resource folder. If the songs don’t include lyrics on the video, and you want a clearer sense of them, one of the best places to visit is Lyrics.com. Why are these songs special to you?

here is the website of the course to find the 5 songs:

To help guide a teacher or instructor on how to implement the common core mathematic standards.
This book prepares a teacher or instructor on how to seamlessly implement the common core standards into their curriculum and how they can better reduce the learning gap that many children face due to relocation, disabilities and other inconsistencies.
It seems like a credible resource to utilize because it is published in partner with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and is also authored and edited by a group of mathematics educator with PhD’s.
I believe this is a useful resource for my topic because it is capturing an educator’s perspective on the implementation.
Kendall, John S. Understanding Common Core State Standards. Alexandria, VA, USA: Association for Supervision & Curriculum Development (ASCD), 2011. ProQuest ebrary. Web. 13 November 2015.

To provide information to anyone regarding common core standards.
This book provides a history of the implementation of common core, pros and cons, what the standards are and how to prepare.
I believe this source is credible because the author is employed a research and development company that relates directly to academics and its’ standards.
