Maybe I wasn’t clear enough about process – but as we move into the second puzzle and wrap up the first, I should probably try again.
- If you don’t get the puzzle at first, you are expected to keep trying – after you see the other solutions, the discussion in class, have questions answered, … Right now, my preference is that you leave your old solution (but say “there’s a newer one below”) and post the newer one separately.
- Part of this assignment is to collaborate with others. If you get it, answer other people’s questions and review other people’s solutions. You’ll learn from it – and you’ll give useful feedback to others.
- Canvas discussions are not a great mechanism for this. But it’s what we have right now. You can edit your old posts (or reply to them) to say that a question has been answered, or that you figured things out, or that you have a new and improved version.
- There is an expectation that everyone should make multiple posts. The first post (either a question or a solution) is just the start. There should be discussions (either helping or getting help), commentary (giving feedback), and revised versions (either making your non-complete assignment work, or your working assignment better).
I have no way to force the collaborative learning aspects. But I am going to try to encourage it.
