You must complete activities in your Research Notebook each week. You will not submit this assignment until Week 4, Day 7. However, you must keep up with the assigned sections each week to be successful in class.

You have two options for this Research Notebook. You may do your work on the computer or you may print it out and complete the pages by hand. If you choose to complete the notebook by hand, please be prepared to scan your pages in Week 4 so you can submit your work as a digital file (PDF format) for grading. The research notebook is your personal writing tool, so you will only be graded on a holistic, four-level scale: 100% (A), 75% (C), 50% (F), 0% (no credit).
