4 Central Qs
How should we
act, write,
respond?
What is research?
What is inquiry?
How do inquiry
and research work
together? Speak
to each other? In
what ways are
they the same?
Different?
To explore these questions, we will complete three major assignments and smaller inclass and online modules that will flesh out these areas. The first assignment is
conducting primary research, the second assignment is collating research and pushing
research forward by asking questions, and the third assignment is presenting research
in an extended portfolio platform.
What is research?
What is the purpose of research?
What does research look like?
What is inquiry?
How do research and inquiry relate?

Exam Day
The exam day is a designated meeting time for the course. However, I am inclined to waive
meeting on the exam day if ONE of the two following conditions are met:
a. All students turn in the 3 major assignment components (total of 9) and complete the
required portfolio checks ON TIME.
b. All students either turn in the 3 major assignment components (total of 9) & complete the
portfolio checks (total of 5) or accept the 0 assigned for turning work in late WITHOUT
excuse emails or attempts to turn in the work late. SEE LATE WORK UNDER
POCKET SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
If the waiver is forfeited, we will meet on the exam day for a final course activity.
Failure to appear on this day will result in 2 absences (due to the 2 hour time block
given for exams) & a 10 point deduction from your final course grade.

To help you throughout this class, so waiting until the last minute to get help, ask
questions, raise concerns, etc. is bad practice
Consider the syllabus, Canvas, and Google Docs resources:
A contract for the standards of behavior and coursework expectations
Are here to protect both you and me concerning the acceptable working and
learning conditions for this class
Are resources to help you know what is going on, so claiming "I didn't know" is
never an excuse
Your first resource when you have questions about
content, due dates, expectations, etc.
With regards to your email, Canvas, &
Google Docs Folder:
I will be sending you updates,
reminders, comments, and other
course information via email and
Canvas; therefore, you need to
check both often
Should I need to modify the course
syllabus or due dates, I will update
you via email, Canvas, and our
Daily Agendas
Sources: Get in the Sky
You are responsible for keeping up with these
changes when I make announcements in class
Should Canvas become unavailable from some sort of system-wide error, you
will still be required to complete your work through our course Google folder
Should Canvas become unavailable and we need to use the Google folder backup, you will receive specific instructions from me via email
