Homework:

Reminder: All work for the class is to be turned in electronically so that others in the class may access your work. Put it on your web-page, on the e-groups, or whichever way you can make your work publicly visible. Assignments due next Wed at 11:59 pm.

Your homework this week is to do some experimentation with concept maps. This will be an extension of what we do in class. Specifically, you need to:

1) Find a victim / subject

2) Find a topic worth assessing (your choice here)

3) Decide how you will get a concept map from them (what prompts, what elements already existing).

3) Get a concept map from the subject on the topic. I think Inspiration will work if you're willing.

4) Capture it somehow (digital camera, scanner, printout, screenshot, etc.)

5) Submit your task, the resulting concept map, and your analysis of what you can deduce about the subject's knowledge on the task.

GROUP HOMEWORK: To be determined soon.

 

Reminder: Look at some other students work BEFORE you get to class on Thursday. Be prepared to talk about one other student's theory of mind in depth that you found particularly interesting or worth discussing.
