Hi everyone, Given the uncertainty of the coming semester I have decided to mix up my class a bit and have the students put together a portfolio of work based on a research topic of their own choosing. I was wondering if anyone has done a similar assignment in a class and would be willing to share their ideas or syllabus. As of now the portfolio will include the following, students will choose a certain number of items to turn in:
* Annotated bibliography (required of all students) * 3 page statistical analysis paper * Infographic (using Canva.com) * 5 social media posts (Using Canva.com) * Policy memo And that’s all I have so far! So the idea is that a student who wants to study invasive species might do an annotated bibliography on the invasive species and global trade, and then write a 3 page paper using some basic statistics to show how certain factors impact invasive species prevention, and then put together an infographic showing how many invasive species there are/where/solution, and then 5 social media posts that how things individuals can do to address the problem, and then a policy memo to a government agency advocating for a solution. So they end up with a portfolio of work that is pretty varied, but they also have gotten the chance to really dig into a topic of their own interest. And if we end up moving all online, I can more easily adapt the class because each component is so short. And it would be fairly easy to do things like teach infographic via Zoom. But I would like to give them more options of things that they could do for the portfolio. Any ideas??? As always you can email me directly and I will compile responses and share to the list.
