ACS 108 Final
Project
Throughout this semester we
have engaged in critical thinking
and reading in a variety of
forms. We have broken down the meaning of songs, examined political campaign
messages, analyzed television commercials, reviewed movies, solved word problems
and analogies, learned organization of written materials and how to use patterns
of organization to achieve better comprehension. More than that, I hope you have
taken away a greater sense of yourself as an intelligent, competent, and engaged
learner. What does it really mean to be able to process the world we interact
with and be able to use that to
advance our own educational,
personal, and professional
goals?
The Final exam for ACS 108
will pull much of what we have done together. As you have been shown in class,
you will be submitting the final exam in the format of a web page. This sheet
will serve as a guide/reminder of what you are responsible for submitting to the
Professor on the last day of class. You may also go to http://wccacs108.weebly.com/ for a sample
page to guide you through this process.
1. Go to
weebly.com and sign up for a free personal web page. There is no obligation to
purchase a site. Just follow the prompts as demonstrated in class to sign up for
the free option. Choose an appropriate name for your site you can
remember.
2. Write your content. I advise creating the essential
documents in word format prior to building the page. Weebly makes it easy to
copy and paste information into their text box format. Save desired images in a
folder on your desktop or a thumb drive to increase ease of upload. The required
content is listed below:
A. Home –welcome to the site and
identifies the site as your final exam for ACS108
B. About Me – include a
short bio that lets people know who you
are. This is similar to our first
writing assignment in class. It also frames
your reflection pieces and
identifies this as your site.
C. Research- Translate your
PowerPoint presentation into a page about the same topic. This is
an
exercise in displaying research findings in multiple formats.
D.
Annotated Bibliography- 10 resources. Follow the handout and the links to the
MLA site sent out earlier this semester.
E. Reflection- the directions
were passed out in class and are posted with samples on the sample web
page.
3. Build your site. Upload, write, rearrange and
edit the page to
personalize
it.
4.
Remember, each section of content is an individual portion of the final exam.
The aesthetics and organization of the site are part of the grade as well.
