Dear Students,

Here’s how we are going to close out the semester.  There are two parts to this post.  Group Work and Individual Work. Make sure to read everything all the way through.

GROUP FINAL WORK 

Someone from your group will post the final work for everyone. Make this a new blog post and title it GROUP FINAL WORK.

List all members of the project.

Then, in the blog post, give us an overview of the project. Imagine that you were going to explain it to someone who knows nothing about it.

• Tell us what it is.
• Tell us what it does.
• Tell us what components it has. If your audience will need directions for how to access parts of it, make sure that you include that here.
• Tell us what impact you feel the project will have when you “go live” on July 3rd.
• Explain how you are reaching your audience.
• Provide any other context that you think is necessary.

After your overview, provide a link or links to the project.

Evaluation Criteria:

Attached here is a peer collaboration sheet that you need to fill out and email to me. rleston@citytech.cuny.edu. It asks that you evaluate your contribution and the contribution of your peers. This is private, so I am the only who should receive it. I can’t grade your group project unless you send this to me, and it has to be through email.

INDIVIDUAL FINAL WORK

Make a new post and title it Individual Final Work.

Here you should attach a single word file. In it should be the following, and this is taken from Professor Barlow. If you use Google Docs, make sure you have the sharing settings open so that I can access it.

1. An explanation of the research that you did during the semester, making sure the research you did is spelled out clearly.
2. An explanation of your participation, including details on who you worked with, and your participation in the final group project.
3. Your log/journal with dates.
4. Last, I’d like you to write me (Professor Lestón) a one page letter where you reflect on the semester. You can include anything you like here, but the point is that I have a sense of what you learned and what you experienced. This well help me interpret your other work and it will help you think about what you can take away from the semester and use in the future.
