assignmet outline

For 5 minutes, journal reflectively on:

Select a concept that was covered in class in the past few weeks, either in lecture or lab, and formulate a question. Then look through your class notes, lab notes, and/or textbook and write an essay in response to your question, summarizing the relevant information.

Discuss how this information might be generally applicable to people’s lives and/or how this information might be used to benefit society. Be sure to include some concrete information that was covered this semester, explaining why this specific information is relevant. Be sure to give examples.

This essay is meant to connect what you are learning in class to its broader relevance to society, your community, and everyday life.

This is not meant to be a formal essay. You will be graded on participation only. After you finish your essays, we will provide some class time to discuss your thoughts, to the extent that you feel comfortable sharing. You should journal for about 7 minutes, resulting in an essay of about 200-300 words. This is a guideline, but not a strict requirement. As long as you are answering the question in a thoughtful manner, you will get full credit.
