Use your judgment about handouts.Your presentation should communicate the essence of your unit. It will be evaluated according to its quality and how well it communicates the essence of your unit. What to submit and where to submit it.File namesName each file beginning with a two-digit number that reflects the order in which I should read the files. This is important. I will read them in the order you state, so if you mis-number the files, what I read will likely be incoherent.01-File name.doc (or .gcf , .gsp, etc.)02-File name.doc (or .gcf , .gsp, etc.). . .10-File name.doc (or .gcf , .gsp, etc.)etc.Submission Each group must submit one set of project files to me electronically as MS Word documents (or gsp, gc, etc) and a PowerPoint file (for presentation) attached to an email. Please attach the Based on a version developed by Patrick W. Thompson © 2008.MTE 494 Advanced Methods of Teaching Mathematics Course Project500 points (40% of course grade)documents in the same order that you have named them. Additionally, each group member must submit his/her own version of item 5 c). No grade will be assigned if this component is not received.DUE DATE: 12/13/09Based on a version developed by Patrick W.
