Countdown to next week’s presentations

Just a few notes before we wrap things up for the semester:

Don’t forget that each student is responsible for a self evaluation and a group evaluation. See step #7 in the online documentation guidelines:

Evaluate your work on this project and the work of the other students in your group.
Self evaluation (minimum 200 words):
Group evaluation (minimum 200 words):
Each student in your group is responsible for writing an evaluation of her/his own work on this project and the work of others in her/his group. Please answer all of the following questions in your evaluations:
What project tasks did you complete on your own? How would you describe the amount of effort you put into your work on this project? What do you think your strengths were in your work on this project? How could you improve your work on this project?
What project tasks did you complete as a group? Was the work shared evenly between group members? How effectively did your group work together? What do you think the strengths were of the group’s work on this project? How could the group improve its work on this project?
Please type your evaluations and email them to me in a word processing document (not in the body of an email).

You must use presentation software, such as PowerPoint, to present the online documentation project. You can also demonstrate the site you built, or show screenshots from the site in your powerpoint slides. Refer to the presentation guidelines or contact me with any questions.

If your group wants to rehearse the presentation in A543, please contact me soon and we’ll figure out a time that works for everyone.

A few of you still have some late work to turn in. I’ll accept late papers, etc. until the end of the day next Wednesday, 12/21.

Good luck, everyone! As always, if you have any questions about the documentation and presentation assignments, get in touch with me by email, and please do not wait until Sunday night. Be sure that one group member posts a link to your group’s project on the course blog by 10 am on Wednesday, 12/21.

Notes about the online documentation project

By Wednesday, 12/7 each group should have a clear idea of the project: either an information resource, a research-oriented educational game, or a research tool. Refer to the guidelines or ask me if you have questions about your proposed topic. Groups will probably find that they need to schedule time outside of class to work on the project; be sure that you have exchanged contact information in order to arrange this. Group members should find ways to divide up tasks fairly, so that the groups can make progress on the project outside of class. You might want to use BuddyPress docs (built into the OpenLab) or Google Docs to collaborate.

Soon we’ll determine an order for the group presentations, which will take place on Monday, December 19 and Wednesday, December 21. Presentations are 10 minutes with 5 minutes allowed for questions.

If your group wants to schedule time in A543 to rehearse the presentation, please let me know and we’ll work something out.

We’ll meet in A540 on Wednesday and both days next week. Please get in touch if you have any questions about the project or presentation.
