Assignments
- Writing assignments include essays, outlines, and documents:
- Resume
and cover letter: you will begin with a draft of these items
(ungraded), which will then be revised based on class discussion and
peer review (graded). A third version will be submitted based on
feedback from the GTA and instructor.
- Essays must be in essay form, with introduction, body, and
concluding paragraphs. Use twelve (12) point font, with one (1) inch
margins on all sides. Instructors will be focusing on one (1) major and
one (1) minor point of feedback. Grading of subsequent essays will be
based on your response to that feedback.
- A business email memo: You will compose a formal business communication about a serious (but fictitious) issue.
- Presentation:
- Topic must focus on a "policy vacuum" and/or "conceptual muddle"
(see Ethics text for description) related to Cyber-Ethics either
current or historical.
- Each group of 2 students will present at least one 10-20
minute topic in class. Typically, 4 students will be assigned to a
week, and they must coordinate among the group to cover the topic
without overlap for the week.
- Each student will be graded individually for their part of the in-class presention.
- Service Learning:
Students will serve at least ten (10) hours in out-of-class service
role. Several standard options will be provided, but students can
negotiate alternatives with the instructor. All service hours must be
documented, and a summary letter from the site supervisor must be
submitted. Extra hours may garner extra credit.
