I did the CI bioblitz last weekend (and marked it down for service learning when I checked in), but I haven't submitted a reflection yet because I realized I forgot to photograph myself or take a video. However, due to the nature of the event, I took a lot of photographs of *other* organisms. Will these pictures suffice? Or will these hours not count towards my class requirement?

I am not sure if this goes underneath the MES homework technically, but for our Annotated Bibliography can we use outside sources other than using the Library database. I am not sure if that was a requirement, or not? I used both in mine and I wasn't so sure, but collected extra just to be safe.

For the term paper, it mentions we have to work on our subtopics and submit our own individual papers, so do we combine the work of both subtopics and each turn a full paper in, or do we only submit the page requirement with only our information about our subtopic?

When we volunteer does it have to be with a registered group of people or can I go to a beach or hiking trail with my friends and family to clean it up, and then take pictures and videos?

For the comment it has to be 50 words or more. But how long should the actual assignment post be? I aimed around 200 words but wasn't sure if that was too small. Or if just answering the questions the best that I can is sufficient?

For the newsboard assignment, I know we have 2 weeks that we have to post about an article and the rest of the weeks we just have to comment. For the week of spring break, will we still be expected to post a comment or will there be nothing due that week, I'm just a little confused by the dates posted! Thanks!

# data[].attributes.body
Hi, I also am a little confused on the length of the news board post. I try to aim for more then 50 words but should I be doing more or less? also will we be docked points if it is not the right amount of words?

# data[].attributes.body
When we volunteer our time, does it have be with a registered nonprofit? I would prefer to set something up that’s a little more informal and on my time where my family and I, or even community members can do a beach cleanup.

Hi everyone! So I know for our term papers we need to have 7 references 5 of which are peer-reviewed. But since we are working with partners do we need to share a certain amount of references with our partners so we have articles in common or are we each finding our own 7 articles that are different from each other? Also my annotation only has to do with my topic and I don't have to tie it back to my partners topic as well, right?

# data[].attributes.body
For the news boards, if we are scheduled to provide commentary, is there a specific focus that the commentary should take? Or simply observations or thoughts about why and how we found the topic interesting or relevant?

It was already answered that outside or current service learning/volunteer work is allowed, is this included if you volunteer at a nonprofit organisation?

I understand that we are supposed to record a presentation for the term paper visualization.

Selene Lopez service learning question for Prof Woo, everyone feel free to comment here if you're on the same boat as me with our hectic schedules!

# data[].attributes.body
I was wondering if the service learning had to be with an established entity/organization? my schedule is quite hectic, with school 3 days a week, and working Friday-Sunday, so I would really like the freedom of choosing and documenting something I could do on my own time. I understand I'll probably have to run it by Professor Woo, first. but, for example, I'm going camping for spring break, and something I really like to do is walk around riverbeds and offtrail to pick up trash that most people walk past. would that be okay?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm wondering if we can or change sources to our bibliography when it comes time to form our outline? I ask because I found some great sources, but I think I could expand these or possibly switch them up. I just want to be sure that's okay as my outline is developed.

Do we still need to do a comment on the News Board during the week of our research? (when we are assigned to find the article)

In the syllabus, it states that there's a plus minus system for grading. I was wondering what the cut off percentages are for this? For example, at what percentage an A becomes an A minus?

If you go to multiple events throughout the semester, to be able to get all of the 8 hr of service learning, are we required to fulfill the reflection paper and photo requirement for each event attended or is the service learning assignment requirements includes all of the events total when considering the reflection paper and photo requirement? Hope that makes sense.

# data[].attributes.body
I think someone else has a similar question, for the service learning photos, do they need to include ourselves or can it just be pictures that we took of the activity?

# data[].attributes.body
After Spring Break, I understand there will be a shift in professors. Will all of our questions and concerns be directed only to Professor Lenz or will Professor Woo still be available?

I wanted to ask for the service learning say we do a couple of hours one day and other hours a another day, what would be the best way to combine everything we did? Do we have to do a video, I was going to ask as another form of presentation can we do a type of slide show with a voice over, or do we have to show our face? Please let me know thank you!

Hi! I don't know if someone already asked this, but I was wondering since we have to complete eight hours of service and as a result we'll probably have to be doing multiple service learning events, how exactly would you want us to write the paper that accompanies the hours?

Hello Professor Lenz,
I wonder if you would consider allowing students to select from several exam topics and submitting that ahead of the final (or shortly thereafter) so it doesn't need to be written in the moment. This would allow for thoughtful responses and research time.

For the Term Paper Visualization, how are we supposed to reach out to our partners specifically? I don't see student emails in the Google spreadsheet or in "People" drop down menu for this class in CI Learn.

For the essay on the final, do we need to reference one of the videos specifically in our answer? In other words, do we need to say, "In the video on 🤬, the concept of 🤬 was displayed in this way . . . " I am just trying to figure out if they are just meant to help us prepare for the essay question in the final or if we need to reference one or more of them. Thank you!
