Students' requirements
This assessment is worth 10% of your final mark. You must complete it before Thursday the 14th of March, at 9 am (at which point it will not be possible to modify the website anymore).
See the list of subjects to know which one you must cover. You have been allocated a subject randomly. For each subject you must :
To present your work, you must:
Please write your text in your computer first, and use the spell checker liberally. Save a copy of your work to your computer so it can't be erased by mistake. I would be very surprised if anybody erased or defaced someone else's work intentionally, however if anybody was found to have done this, they would evidently be awarded a zero.
See the list of subjects to know which one you must cover. You have been allocated a subject randomly. For each subject you must :
- explain the link this person (or thing) has with linear algebra or vector geometry
- give the historical and geographical context in which the person lived (or the application is or was used)
- explain the mathematical ideas developed by this person (or mathematical concepts used by this application) which are relevant to linear algebra or vector geometry
To present your work, you must:
- create a new page on this website with your subject as a title
- CREATE a 5 to 6 minutes Youtube video about your subject; it can be a PowerPoint presentation with comments or you can film yourself, or you can build an animation...Whatever the format, YOU must clearly explain your subject (I'm not saying you should find a video on YouTube and link it; I'm saying you need to MAKE a video as you would an oral presentation);
- full references for the books and websites you have used. You need at least 3 references, only one of which can be from Wikipedia. Use the referencing methods you have seen in Methodology or in English. If using websites, please also include click-able links;
- a 200-word(minimum) summary of the video that include all the essential information.
