TERMINOLOGY HANDOUT
Instructions
Choose a term and due date from the sign up sheet in e-learning.
Create a handout that fully provides a detailed definition for your colleagues in an easy to read, stylish form. The handout should be no more than two pages in length.
Submit your handout as a PDF in dropbox. Your handout will then be posted in a central location for ALL students to see and use to prepare for their final exam.
NOTE: Please save your file as a PDF so that it can be uploaded to the shared space (five points will be deducted for any format other than a PDF).
Make a Snazzy Handout
Consider the design/layout of your handout carefully, as the most successful handouts are not only eye-catching and easy to read, but offer quick, succinct information that your colleagues can scan and understand in only a few minutes. Make sure that you draw attention to your main ideas and consider spacing and design elements.
Think about how you might use fonts, text boxes, bold or other format choices, headings, images, etc—these can be useful tools to create a snazzy handout that delivers content well and engages readers so that they can easily synthesize information.
And use space wisely—you want as much information as possible in this small space!
