Assignments

If MyLearningSpace goes down, you can still access Intellectual Response Paper guidelines here.

IRP 1 will be released Jan 17th 2014.

(and the IRP Rubric)

IRP 2 will be released before Reading Break

And yes, IRP 3! (coming way later)

and the following might be useful:


 * The most successful IRPs will:**
 * Use course materials (including readings and lectures) to go beyond reacting and describing to reflecting on and analyzing a given situation or object.
 * Use experience to contextualize new meanings, and new experiences to reflect on prior experience.
 * Use new information to revise or confirm prior thinking.
 * Argue a position persuasively while demonstrating an awareness of possible alternate perspectives.
 * Use written language clearly and accurately.


 * Factors that we have found detract from successful IRPs**
 * Analysing in detail a single part of the assignment (a work of art, a single building, a poster) without providing a context.
 * Remaining at the level of reaction or description, without any real analysis or application.
 * Heaping praise on the field site, what you find there, the textbook, or the lecturer (leaving no room for analysis). Conversely, dismissing these without considering them.
 * Poor grammar, sloppy spelling.
