Site selection

Select a site as the topic for future assignments in this class.

Your task is to select a site - check in with me for approval first. Parks, trails, nature areas, heritage districts of cites all work well. If, because of COVID or your location, this is a problem, let me know, and we can find a solution.

This site will be used for multiple future assignments. Send me a Slack direct message noting your site, and if necessary, what you consider the boundaries. Make sure it is a site you can access for study and review

Topic due 6 PM Thu, Feb 03

Assignment 4: Telling difficult stories

Discussion assignment

This assignment will take the form of an online discussion. We will begin the discussion in class, and continue it online.

I will post three topic questions over the next week. For each, I'd like you to create one post, and respond to at least one other student's post. When you respond, don't just agree (or disagree) - create connections to ideas we have been exploring in class. Use the readings and other research as support material.

Points will be awarded for insight and clarity. Be civil, but don't be afraid to disagree.

Use the "Reply in thread 💬" button for your replies, to keep them organzied.

Due: 6PM, Sunday, Feb 6. Make your initial post by Wednesday Feb 2 at 6:00 PM. Post to Slack - a channel will be created for each discussion question.

Post discussions early, not at the last minute.

Late assignment penalties

For this assignment, late submissions will be penalized at 10% of the total mark (that is, if an assignment is graded out of 10, you will lose 1 point per day, starting on the due date.)

A 1-hour grace period after the assignment due time will be given to avoid any technical issues related to internet speed resulting in late assignment penalties.

The best approach, however, is to submit work early.
