Week 13 [12/1-12/5]

Due: Completed website of assignments.

Journal entry

You will have one primary activity in Section VI: to evaluate your website (and perhaps the websites of up to four classmates) in terms of how/how well the website(s) facilitate information seeking behavior.

FINAL EXAM

All students will participate in a final examination, which will be due during the final week of the course. The final exam is intended to be an application of what we know about information behavior to website design. For the final exam, each student will add to their website a discussion of how the design of the website relates to what we know about information behavior. Students may elect to form groups (2 to 5), critique, compare and contrast the group of websites, and submit a group exam paper. The final exam may be used to replace a lower grade (up to 10% of the final grade). [NOTE: The quality of class participation may not be replaced with the final exam grade.] The professor reserves the right to use the final exam as extra credit up to the equivalent of raising the final grade one step (such as from B to B+ or B+ to A-).

The journal is a non-graded assignment in which the student, a specified intervals, comments on the course. The following entry is requested in week 13:

Write a narrative describing your current feelings toward this mode of instruction, and highlight problems or successes you have had over the course of the semester. An overall critique of the course and suggestions on how it can be improved for future classes would be appreciated. Be sure to mark the entry with the title "REFLECTIONS FROM THE END - date".
