Inspection

Summmative Evaluation:

Standards Portfolio

Groups will turn in an electronic portfolio of wave patterns and sinusoidal equations of musical notes from f4 to c6 as well as several natural sources of radio waves from pulsars, spacecraft, etc. This portfolio will be used as supporting or refuting evidence in deciding if their sample sounds were ET messages or not.

NetMeeting Whiteboard Presentations

Each student will turn in a self prepared whiteboard presentation which was used in the NetMeeting Symposium to defend decisions about ET messages.

NetMeeting Symposium

A group grade will be given for overall Symposium presentation. Grades will be based on evidence-based defense of position, as well as correct interpretation of evidence.
