Essay Instructions: Final Project Information
You should actively anticipate your Final Project throughout the term, in the sense that the assignment will require you to construct a "Portfolio," by the end of unit 9, documenting your performance over the course of the term in achieving key course objectives. Most generally, these include the following three.
1. Analytical skill building??"How have you improved your critical reading, writing, and thinking skills.
2. Knowledge acquisition??"How well have you mastered central concepts, ideas, and perspectives in bioethics, relative to the historically conventional ethical perspectives we begin with, and to the selection of distinct bioethical controversies we address thereafter.
3. Practical application??"How well have you been able to connect course material to issues of concern in your personal or professional life.
You should anticipate responding to each of these questions with a general analysis of your performance, together with supporting evidence in the form of concrete examples from your coursework, other curricular work, and extra-curricular activities during the term.
You may complete your Final Project in either Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. It should be approximately 9 to 12 pages in length if in Word, and 15 to 20 slides in length if in PowerPoint. Please keep in mind that if you choose to use PowerPoint, the grading elements remain the same, and your grade will be determined by content and not the bells and whistles you are able to put into a visual presentation.
Additional information is available in Unit 8.
When you are ready to submit your Final Project, go to the Final Project link in Unit 9 and follow the instructions.
The final project is due on the last day of Unit 9. Your final project in this course requires you to construct a portfolio that documents your successes in achieving key class objectives.
Your portfolio will contain examples of your coursework that portray your progress in attaining three primary course goals:
1. Analytical Skill Building: Improving your critical reading, writing, and thinking skills.
2. Knowledge Acquisition: Mastering knowledge of central concepts, ideas, and perspectives connected to our study of Ethics.
3. Practical Application: Learning how to connect course material to issues you care deeply about and thoughtfully apply course material to your own life goals, decisions, and practices.
Your portfolio can also include information about your work in other areas -- for example, the work you did to achieve the personal goals you discussed in the icebreaker assignment.
You portfolio may include:
• excerpts from your papers
• examples of your reading notes
• selected Discussion or Seminar interactions
• comments from the grade book
• email interactions with the instructor
Your Portfolio Project will also require you to reflect on your progress toward course goals, including your own evaluation of your work habits, reflections on any difficulties that you faced, or any special challenges that you overcame.
The Portfolio Project may be organized as a Word document, a PowerPoint presentation, or a multimedia document or presentation. Your instructor must approve alternative formats in advance.
No matter how the project is presented (upon instructor approval), it must demonstrate use of Standard American college-level English.
