(i) Reading Summaries or Journal (50%):

 

You should continue with the approach you selected in the ISD I course.

 

Reading Summaries: Before the Christmas break, there will be 3 sets of assigned readings (one for each E/H/HL session).  Students must submit a brief (one page) summary and critical analysis on one article from two of these sets of readings.

 

After the Christmas break, there will be 6 sets of readings.  Students must submit a summary and critical analysis on one article from 5 of these sets of readings.

 

Unless you are notified otherwise, reading summaries are due at the start of the E/H/HL session for which the reading was assigned.

 

Journal: In lieu of writing the reading summaries students may keep a journal similar to the one kept throughout first year CS/EH. Periodic review of the journal with one of the instructors will be required. Further detail regarding the evaluation of this option will be provided.

In the ISD I course, you either opted to write three short essays or one long essay. You should continue on with the option you selected.

Students may write on a topic other than those suggested but must receive approval of one of the instructors
