PSU Observation Voicethread Comments = Due

2/27 by midnight

Choose a PSU Observation Presentation that you are

interested in watching. Answer the following questions in a

1-2 minute audio or video comment via Voicethread: What

are some similarities and differences between the class

that you observed and the class that your classmate

described in his/her video? Can you think of an explanation

for any of those similarities or differences?

2 points of extra credit offered for each (legitimate) extra

comment that you make (5 comment limit). If you do the

extra credit, send me an email to let me know which videos

you commented on.

PSU Student Interview Project

Big Idea: For this project, you will prepare

interview questions about academic life at

PSU, videotape a 7-10 minute interview with

a PSU student, transcribe (write down) 1

minute of the interview, and complete a

transcription-analysis handout.
