Report Card #2

Preparations for the second report card are underway. Here is a list of assignments – blog posts and wikis – that we have completed since the first report card:

On the 7F and 7S blog

1. An example of a communication system
2. A design brief for the compost bin lid problem
3. A list of questions they need to find answers to in order to design a new compost bin lid
4. Answers to those questions and the sources of those answers
5. An isometric drawing of the tub with the lid including all the lines they learned about - visible lines, hidden lines, and dimension lines
6. 4 journal entries describing what work their group did during that class and an evaluation of how their group is working

On the wiki

1. An introduction page telling the reader a little about their group and a little about the problem they are working on.
2. A Possible Solutions page (or they may have broken it down into several pages with a possible solution on each page) that includes a drawing of the possible solution and a brief written description of it. There must be at least 3 sensible possible solutions
3. A Criteria List page complete with a design brief and a list of 8-10 questions/statements that they will use to rank their possible solutions.

All of this work should be complete by now. If they have some work to do to catch up and would like a grade other than 0 to show up on their report card for that work, make sure it is posted to the blog or the wiki NO LATER THAN SATURDAY, MARCH 10. Any work not submitted by then will receive a score of 0. They may submit it later than that, and it will be graded and included on their final report card, but if they don’t want a 0 dragging down their average on this one, they must submit all late work by MARCH 10th.
