Project this is a semester-long project where, little-by-little and step-by-step each week, you create your own web project on an aspect of the history of science of special interest to you |
90 min
- 2 hours |
The rest of this page assumes that you are familiar with the general description of this weekly assignment found on the Web Project assignments page. After reading that description and completing last week's Web Project assignment, you are ready to begin this week's assignment.
Below are the instructions you will see every week for the next seven weeks as you write and publish three episodes for your web project.
Click the "Research and write a draft of an Episode" link below.
This is Episode Week 1: if you do not take a pass, you will research and write a draft of your first Episode!
Each week over a 7-week period, you have three choices:
The later in the semester you take your pass, the better: The sooner you publish, the more feedback you will receive from your classmates, and the more feedback you receive, the better your grade is likely to be!
You may take your pass whenever you like during this 7-week period. For example, you could take a pass before one of your three research draft weeks (spending a total of 3 weeks on that episode, instead of the usual 2 weeks per episode).
Warning to perfectionists: You can always revise your episodes after they are published, before they are graded (after Week 13), so to benefit from your classmates' feedback, don't wait to publish them until they are polished!
During the week that you take a pass, you do not need to let me know that you are taking a pass.
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair." Douglas Adams, (1952-2001) "Mostly Harmless."
