Description
This week we will focus on peer review of our History of Science Timelines. You have two main tasks:
1. Make an initial post that includes a link to your timeline. At this point, your timeline should include 10 -12 events (At least 2 per major time period) and associated details (see the timeline assignment). If you are struggling with any part of the timeline, state that in your post. You may also ask for specific feedback on some aspect of your timeline (such as the use of color or font choices). Sources do not need to be turned in with your timeline at this point. This post is due by Wednesday.
2. Choose 1 peer to review. Use the timeline checklist to thoroughly review the posted timeline. Be sure to offer constructive feedback as outlined in the checklist.
Timeline peer grading checklist:
1. Count the number of events on the timeline. Total events =
In the Week 4 timeline, there should be 10-12 events
In the Week 7 timeline, there should be the full 25 events
2. Are there 5 events per time period? Yes or No. If No, how many do you see?
3. Is more than one area (Science, Math, Technology, Engineering) represented in each time period? Yes or No. If No, what is missing and when?
4. Does every event have a date? Yes or No. If No, identify what is missing.
5. Is every event attributed to a person? Yes or No. If No, identify what is missing.
6. Is there at least one event per time period attributed to a minority person (woman or underrepresented population)? Yes or No. If No, what is missing and when?
7. Does every event have a description? Yes or No. If No, what is missing and when?
8. Does every description include reasons why the event is significant? Yes or No. If No, what is missing and when?
9. Does every description include the social context? Yes or No. If No, what is missing and when?
10. Is the timeline neat and readable? Yes or No. If No, make specific suggestions for improvement.
11. Include one thing that you really liked about the timeline and one thing that you think could be improved.
