This week, we spent a majority of class reviewing the critiques our peers provided us regarding our annotated bibliographies we did during week 1 on our specific topics. Then, we were introduced to a system powered by Google, called GoogleDocs, where we learned how to create professional looking surveys for free.
There, we produced questions that would later be handed out physically or via electronically to a target group, so that our knowledge and understanding of the topic could be heightened, and to see if the responses the audience gave supported or negated the information addressed in the sources we chose. My group chose to visit their former high schools and poll their teachers. It was hard at first to come up with questions, since our topic is not as broad as some of the others, but the sample survey Tiffany created for us to use as a resource was very useful.
For this coming Wednesday, we have a lot of work that has to get done, including posting the link to our survey, along with a 1-page summary of the results to Forums. In addition, a 10-minute presentation must be created, addressing the results we found from the people who participated in our surveys, and anything else we gained knowledge about conducive to the literature review process.
I know I may be jumping to conclusions prematurely, but in order to do well in this course, one must be willing to exert a lot of effort into working and obtain a strong sense of independence, maturity, and leadership.
