Module “Q&A” Assignment Instructions — Online ENVS 100 Please print these instructions to use each week. This 2‐part weekly assignment is worth a significant portion of your course grade. Remember, we don’t have any quizzes or exams! Instead, this assignment ensures us both that you are learning the material well. GOALS: • Reading comprehension — To deeply understand the information in each module’s readings • Synthesis — To synthesize information found in multiple sources • Critical thinking — To see where you need clarification on concepts, and learn to write good questions • Research — To find reputable sources and research answers to questions • Contextualizing — To put “book learning” about science into the context of society and daily life • Discussion — To interact with your classmates about course concepts • Writing — To practice writing clear, understandable prose with good grammar and spelling To do this assignment, you must first read and study all of the module’s assigned readings.
