Week
2 Assignments for
On-Campus IQPs
The Introduction is a MAJOR
tool for organizing our thoughts about the project. It helps us identify the context in which our
project takes place and provides us with a scaffolding in which to insert the
key pieces of information related to our topic.
Irrelevant stuff will be easier to spot in a paragraph that it would be
if buried inside pages and pages of text.
We will hone our moves until the salient features of our project are
identified and agreed upon. Another
major task of the IQP is for you and your team to spell out your team’s
contribution to the solution of “the problem” or to the addressing of “the
issue”. Your contribution will consist
of the completion of a number of objectives.
Once you have nailed down these objectives, your methodology is easily
framed, but identifying them is a non-trivial task. Almost all IQPs require that teams constantly
revise their understanding of the project problem as they learn more about the
many technical and social issues connected with it, thus the mission and
objectives get also refined over and over until a satisfactory methodological
framework is reached.
This is this week’s PowerPoint
lecture delivered at the mini-ID2050 class.
This is the INDIVIDUAL assignment for the week, usually due
on a Monday at 4:30pm in your advisor’s mailbox..
This is the TEAM equivalent of
Assignment #3. It is usually due by
email to the advisors on the day of the 1st PQP meeting (due time to
be announced). Bring a copy to the PQP
meeting for discussion.
