Introduction
The assignments in NCLC 203 fall into two categories, individual assignments which you will complete alone (the Praxis Essay, Community Events Analyses and the Learning Foundation assignment), and a major collaborative assignment which you will complete with a group of approximately twenty-five other students (the Research Inquiry Group (RING) project).
Faculty have broken these assignments into smaller, cumulative segments, in a way that should be familiar to most of your from your first-semester work in Cornerstones. And each assignment supports the others in complex ways. The Praxis assignment should help you to penetrate the complexities of research for your RING project. The Community Events assignment will help to prepare you for your field work in the second half of the semester. The Learning Foundation assignment suggests ways in which you can interrogate and reflect on your learning in fall & spring in order to plan a successful academic year in 2010 – 2011.
The links below will take you to each assignment. and please do remember that if you have any questions about any assignment, or if you run into difficulties in its execution, contact a faculty member as soon as possible. We really do want you to succeed to the very best of your abilities in these projects, and would love to talk in detail about your plans for them.
