JCM212/Final Exam Review
Collective intelligence in action.
- Each student will outline a single lecture--noting its key points. See below for lecture assignments. You may confer with other group members about the points. Email that to me, jbutler@ua.edu .
- The group as a whole will create a 90-second video lecture. No longer!
- Choose three essential points from the lecture.
- Briefly explain each in 30 seconds or less.
- One group member may be your lecturer or you may spread the points among several students.
- Find a quiet spot to record your lecture.
- Either email it to me (jbutler@ua.edu); or put it in UA Box; or post it on YouTube/Vimeo/etc. If online somewhere, email me the link. Remember: these videos will be made public.
- The best 90-second video will earn its group members 5 bonus points on the final exam.
