Internal Assessment: Introduction and Initial Planning work
Important IA Dates: (Dates with something DUE are starred (*)) November 4--introduction *November 10—DUE--3 Proposed research questions due (rank them!) November 18: In-class time for research/outlining your process *November 23: DUE--a timeline/plan for completing your process November 24-January 6: finish background research, gather materials, and perform experiment (collect data) *December 2: DUE--background info and personal engagement draft *December 7: DUE--materials list, procedure draft (not necessarily the way it will be written in the final IA, but a way for you to show me what you’ll be doing/how you’ll be collecting data) *January 13: DUE--proof that you’ve collected all necessary data and are working on your analysis *January 30 (Monday after finals): DUE—1st draft of your full IA. Submit to www.turnitin.com no later than 11:59 PM this night. *January 31 – February 3: Complete a peer review of the paper that is assigned to you through www.turnitin.com. Use the rubric. Give them comments (useful, constructive feedback) and give them a score based on what you see (be honest, and be picky so that you’re helpful—pretend you’re me grading J). Please have this done by 11:59 PM on Friday, February 3. February 3 – Feb. 10: Finish up with your final draft. **February 13 - 17: Final draft due any time this week—submit a hard copy in class and a digital copy to www.turnitin.com HW: WA--Refraction, Diffraction, and Polarization--Due Monday, November 14 Quiz covering these 3 topics will be on that Monday, too. |
