Homework is due by Sunday at 11:59pm and should be submitted to the Canvas assignments area as specified below.
Turn your homework in on time – this represents your asynchronous attendance in the class.
Check the Canvas grade-book regularly. Homework turned in by Sunday night will be graded by Monday night each week. There is a 50% per week deduction for late homework (i.e. after 2 weeks late the maximum score on homework is 0 !!). Homework turned in incorrectly and resubmitted late will be graded as late.
Gradebook corrections will only be made up until 1 week after the assigned date.
Videos Lectures’ to watch for homework and threaded discussion at Canvas. The homework assignment is to choose and respond to 9 videos from the following. For each video that you select, state the name of the video and write a few sentences (4 or more) summarizing your reactions to the content. This is not to be a summary, but rather your reaction to the material. Additionally, do not include direct quotes from the videos – all writing should represent your own work. Also, do not turn in a bibliography referencing the videos.
Note that I am concentrating on content rather than grammar in your summary. Address as many specific points as possible and refer to material in every video. When submitting the assignment, upload it as an attachment in doc, docx, or txt format as a single file with all summaries included (no .odt, Mac .pages, or other file formats are accepted. Additionally, you cannot use OpenOffice to create the .doc, .docx, or .txt file formats. If you do not have Microsoft Word, use notepad on a PC or use TextEdit on a Mac.) Once your assignment is submitted to Canvas, it is also submitted automatically to Turnitin.com to check for plagiarism, therefore do not copy – not even from your own work turned in to other classes – even previous attempts at CS 3! Plagiarism will result in an F grade for the class.
YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT EACH VIDEO, NOT SUMMARIZE. 4 SENTENCES IS FINE, TRY TO FIT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN IN 2 PAGES.
Choose 9 videos from any of the following:
