CS471: Computer Science Pedagogy - code.org Lightning Talk (10 Points)
Assignment Goals
The goals of this assignment are:- To critically and creatively evaluate the pedagogical lightning talks of your classmates
The Assignment
In this reflection, you will provide an approximately 1-page writeup of the lightning talk presentations assigned to you. This feedback will be shared anonymously with the presenting group. Additionally, you will answer the question(s) provided by all student groups, and those responses will be anonymously shared with them.
Student Questions
Each group will generate one or more questions about their topic as part of their presentation. You should answer those questions and include them in your reflection.
Peer Feedback
Each student will be assigned a few presentations to take careful notes about. You will provide feedback to those groups as part of your reflection. A few items to consider are:
- What was one thing that the group you observed did particularly well?
- What did you learn or find most inspiring about the presentation?
- What is one way that the group could revise their presentation to be more effective?
Submission
In your submission, please include answers to any questions asked on the assignment page in your README file. If you wrote code as part of this assignment, please describe your design, approach, and implementation in your README file as well. Finally, include answers to the following questions:- Describe what you did, how you did it, what challenges you encountered, and how you solved them.
- Please answer any questions found throughout the narrative of this assignment.
- If collaboration with a buddy was permitted, did you work with a buddy on this assignment? If so, who? If not, do you certify that this submission represents your own original work?
- Please identify any and all portions of your submission that were not originally written by you (for example, code originally written by your buddy, or anything taken or adapted from a non-classroom resource). It is always OK to use your textbook and instructor notes; however, you are certifying that any portions not designated as coming from an outside person or source are your own original work.
- Approximately how many hours it took you to finish this assignment (I will not judge you for this at all...I am simply using it to gauge if the assignments are too easy or hard)?
- Your overall impression of the assignment. Did you love it, hate it, or were you neutral? One word answers are fine, but if you have any suggestions for the future let me know.
- Using the grading specifications on this page, discuss briefly the grade you would give yourself and why. Discuss each item in the grading specification.
- Any other concerns that you have. For instance, if you have a bug that you were unable to solve but you made progress, write that here. The more you articulate the problem the more partial credit you will receive (it is fine to leave this blank).
