Had another question from a student come in:
I was reviewing the Existentialist Expertise Assignment instructions and wanted to ask how the conversation portion would work. I also noticed it said that we would have teams? Will that be discussed a little later, before the assignment is due? I am working on doing research for my selected term/topic and just wanted to clarify a few things!
My answer:
If there's a vestige/ mention of "teams" on the assignment sheet, I need to remove that-- an earlier version of the assignment was going to pair you with another student (or two), but I ultimately decided that was unworkable in a summer online class given everyone's schedules and whatnot.
So, once you've chosen your term, go ahead and conduct your research and prepare your cheat sheet. Your conversation will just be with me-- works easier and better, I've found, to talk through something with someone else rather than at an invisible audience. And that way we can make sure everything is communicated accurately and well to our audience of the rest of the class!
I'll also try to do a sample here once all the students have chosen their terms so that y'all can see what this ends up looking like.
