Notes Media Piece Assignment (due by Sunday 11:59 p.m. on Canvas)
Introduced in Science Discovery section of this guide:
Course Notes
In this section and the next three sections (webpages) of this online Knowledge Guide, you will be taking notes on the concepts that are covered. This content complements the first lecture, so you can bring these notes to lecture and add to or modify your notes as desired. After attending the corresponding lecture, you will upload these notes to Canvas as one of this week’s two media pieces. You can take notes digitally on a device or on a piece of paper that you digitally photograph and upload: your choice.
You are able (and recommended) to use your personal notes during each week’s quiz. This will be the only time you turn in your notes for grading, but most people continue to take detailed notes, since they can be used to jog memory during each quiz and can be added as personal work to the final Portfolio (introduced next week). You do not need to take notes on this week’s second Research Lecture guide for this media piece, but you may want to take the notes for use on the quiz and in the final portfolio.
Include in your notes and upload to Canvas:
-
concepts from all four sections (web pages) in this guide, and any additional modifications made during lecture.
-
a combination of text, images, and icons. Your notes may be mostly text, but some type of image and use of icons needs to be included.
Media Directions
Submitted to Canvas.
Once you have completed your notes over all four sections in this guide and have modified them during lecture as desired, upload your notes to Canvas. Your notes can be submitted as a PDF, a word document, a photo of the notes, or even a video. Multiple assignment formats are supported.
