Instructions
The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with the experience of applying peer reviewed academic resources to a deeper understanding of course content. In addition, the assignment provides you the opportunity to practice presenting technical information to a group of peers. The primary evaluation of this assignment is going to be based on your oral communication skills.
The essence of the assignment is that you need to locate a peer reviewed article and present the findings of that article within the context of the class. In essence, you will provide a brief overview of the article to supplement my in-class presentation on a related topic.
YOU will need to find the article and then YOU need to select the "Lesson" in the course that best corresponds with that article's content. On the day that the Lesson you identified is being covered you will be responsible to make a short presentation to the class on the article and how it relates to the content in the Lesson.
Proposal
In order to communicate your intent with me, I have created a special assignment drop box. You will submit your proposed article to me along with a proposal as to which Lesson in the class the article applies to. You will also attach a PDF copy of the actual article.
You will take this quiz as many times as necessary until I have given you a grade of 100, which indicates that your proposal is approved. Your presentation will then be entered into the Course Navigator document and you will be expected to deliver your presentation on that day.
