Units 6 & 7 Project

Step 1: Review the Rubric

• Before you submit your work, review the rubric at the bottom of this assignment.
• Use the rubric as a checklist to determine whether you are ready to submit your work.

Step 2: First Draft

• Commit a good-faith effort to address each item in the Prompt section below.
• Please be sure to number your responses and include “white space” between problem numbers. This improves the readability and flow of your work. I cannot give feedback and grade jumbled work.
• Use either of the following options to submit your work.
  OPTION 1: You can submit a text-entry assignment (i.e. typing your answers in Canvas). To learn how to submit a text-entry assignment, use these directions (opens in a new tab).
  OPTION 2: You can upload your paper-and-pencil work (or the digital equivalent). To learn how to upload your paper-and-pencil work, use these directions (opens in a new tab). WARNING – some file types may not be visible on my end. So to learn which files you can upload, be sure to use the directions link I provided for this option.
• Not ready to submit a good-faith effort yet? Avoid frustration – use the link to the Questions, Answers, & Tips discussion board (at the bottom of this page) to post questions about this assignment (or visit the discussion board to answer your classmates’ questions). You can also contact me directly (see the homepage for my contact information).

Step 3: Peek-a-Boo Review

Peer reviews are not required for Unit Projects. However, the peer review feature in Canvas is active for this project. Why? As long as you commit a good-faith effort on your first submission, you can use the peer review feature to take a peek at (and possibly learn from) your classmate’s work. Here’s how.

• Return to this assignment after the first draft is due.
• Under Assigned Peer Reviews you will see a list of names.
• Click on a name in the list to take a peek at your classmate’s work.
• If you notice that your peer has left something out or made a mistake, feel free to help your peer out and leave a comment. Or feel free to post a question for your peer. But if you prefer to learn from your peers’ work and move on without leaving a comment, you can do that as well.

After the due date, if you cannot see any names in the list, perhaps the “peek-a-boo” reviews were automatically generated before you submitted the assignment. You can send a message to me in Canvas to let me know that there are no names in the Assigned Peer Reviews list, and I will add names to your list. But please include this assignment’s name in the message!

Step 4: Write Your Self-evaluation & Submit Your Final Draft

• Write a high-quality self-evaluation of your work.
• Submit your final draft and include the following.
  • First or last paragraph: Include your self-evaluation as the first or the last paragraph in your final draft.
  • Remaining paragraph(s): Write a complete final draft. I will only grade your most recent submission, so please do not leave anything out, and please do not direct me to read an earlier submission.
  • Not ready to write your final draft yet: Avoid frustration – get help. Use your self-evaluation and your peers’ feedback to identify which concepts or skills you need help with. Then use the link to the “Questions, Answers, & Tips” discussion board (bottom of this page) to seek help.
