One of the possible ways to have students work on a course project throughout a semester is to have periodic concept map assignments. Journals were framed as homework assignments to be done individually. The purpose of these assignments was to help students prepare for their final project in ISB202.
Journal Assignment #2 Overview: During class, we learned how to search for primary literature, and students spent some time looking for articles. For this journal assignment, students will write a list of references with brief annotations of sources that they plan on using for their course project. These references will also likely be useful for future journal assignments.
