Below are two modified problem sets from your peers. (Each student will get one chance to share a modified problem set with the class; see schedule here (Links to an external site.).) Choose at least one of the problem sets (you’re welcome to do both, but you don’t have to) and make a post in this discussion forum that includes the following:
- Which problem set you are posting about at the present moment. Clearly indicating A or B is sufficient.
- Your thought process and solutions to the problems (probably as an attachment). For this part, you will most likely attach a document to your post, or you may embed an image/video to represent your work. You may have complete solutions or you may just share details about your attempts. As long as it is clear you have given substantial effort, you are fine for this portion of the assignment. (Once you post, you should be able to see the work of others who have posted already.)
- Your evaluation of the modified problems (in the body of your post). Compare the last two problems to the first three routine ones, and share your thoughts. This part can be a brief evaluation (bullet points are okay), but please consider what learning opportunities were offered by the items, how the problem set overall was changed by the inclusion of the last two problems, or other thoughts you have about the problem set as a teaching device.
Once you have made at least one post containing the elements described above, then you are done for this unit. The students who created the problem sets will be able to look across the various work and make a final summary post about what they noticed. They will also be able to react to the feedback on the modified problems.
