The COIL Course Instructors will monitor, track, & score student participation both in class & online. You will need to complete Padlet assignments & respond to the posts of at least 2 different people that week for full Padlet credit. It is recommended that you access Padlet to complete assignments, see updated posts, & check for course announcements at least once per day. We will be tracking discussions, chat sessions, assessing group work, & asked to submit attendance proof when meeting asynchronously with your teammates for collaboration & project development to monitor your participation in this course.  

Being flexible is one of the main ingredients for COIL success!  If you fall behind, jump back in and catch up as soon as you can.

Predictions - Hypothesis 1: Whenever it would rain the blue color would run and fade over time.  Hypothesis 2: If sunlight passes through more of the atmosphere, the sun should lose green and yellow light too.

Experiment/Observe - The sun is red/orange near dawn and dusk.

Conclusions - Hypothesis 1 has been refuted. (proven to be incorrect.) Researcher should discard and modify project accordingly.
                         Hypothesis 2 has been supported.  (further experiments should be performed to confirm whether Hypothesis 2 still holds true under different circumstances.

Results - Outcomes are shared with global scientific community.   Conclusions are weighed against other scientists' findings.
