Each group will submit by email three (3) possible topics for their web project, ranked in order of preference. Your instructor will select one of these topics for your group to research. Topics will be selected based on the criteria above and the order received; no duplicate project topics are allowed.Grading:
Web projects will be evaluated by your peers and instructor. Each student will review and comment on websites from two other groups (via WebAssign). These student comments, along with comments from your instructor, will be given to the website authors, who will revise their sites for final grading and publication.The websites will be primarily assessed by the quality of the physics explanations. Organization, style, and readability are lesser considerations for grading.
A = complete and accurate physics explanations, good organization, style, and readabilityWeb Resources:
B = mostly complete and accurate explanations, good readability
C = many incorrect or incomplete physics explanations or poor readability
F = no project submittedA sample critique is provided as an example of what is expected for this peer evaluation.
To help promote proper group cooperation, each student will evaluate the contribution of each member of their group. This contribution factor will be multiplied by the final score on the website, so that each student will be rewarded according to the work he or she contributes to the project. If each member contributes equally, the individual contribution factor should be 1, and a member who does not participate at all gets a zero.
