| Title: | Descriptive Criteria for Assignment
Annotations |
| Description: |
The following artifact describes the guidelines for structure and content
of the annotation component of course assignments. It clarifies
the meaning of the terms "artifact" and "annotation" then briefly
describes qualities of a good title, description, and reflection. The
document was created to aid students in preparing the required annotation
part of assignments and as an aid in preparing effective professsional
portfolios. |
| Reflection: | The process of
generating this artifact and that of sharing it with students helped me to
realize that exercise of the critical thinking skills associated with
reflection is largely neglected within the engineering curriculum.
Similarly, I have gained a renewed appreciation for the need to encourage
students of computer science and engineering to practice professional
communication. This is engaged by the generation of meaningful titles and
concise descriptions. I hope that experience with generating effective
annotations, as encouraged by these guidelines, will benefit practitioners
in preparing their professional portfolios. |
