OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT: Preparatory Tasks & the “One-Hour Project”

1. Complete two training sessions.

• One 15-minute electronic search training session (lead by Tabby).
• One 15-minute book search training session (lead by Roger).

2. The actual "project" that requires teams of three persons to locate and document their answers to a single question.

• Teams will record the information gathering process and the resources the team utilized.
• Propose answers for these answers and report their sources using the Freshman Seminar One-Hour Project Form (a PDF file) -- available in the box on the right.

3. Each team submits their One-Hour Project as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file to Professor Martinez at rmartin8@uccs.edu by 7:15 pm.

SPECIFICS REGARDING THE PROJECT:

• Three-person teams are charged with using all available resources (library and Internet) to find and propose answers to a question reported on an index card.
• There will be a total of ten questions for the entire class. Thus, two teams will be competing against each other to answer the question in the most thorough manner. (1 question for 2 teams. Teams of 3 students.)

As two teams will compete to answer a question, there will be an incentive to win the competition.

In order to complete the competition, the team must:

• Use at least 2 print sources and 2 electronic sources Document your sources.
• Propose answers for their question.
• Complete the entire One-Hour Project form and submit it by 7:15 pm.

To win the competition:

• Your team’s project must be the most complete, accurate, and best-documented answer.
• Each member of a winning team will receive three bonus points that will be added to their next writing assignment.
