For this written assignment, instead of writing a traditional paper, you’ll be creating some sort of visual aide to support and represent your findings. Your visual aide will likely still contain text, but it should be done so in a way that’s visually appealing, yet still informative and interesting.
Many options exist for the approach of this assignment, so think of that as a positive instead of letting it be confusing. If you’re in need of ideas, reach out to classmates and/or your professor.
Ensure that your project is suitable for uploading, meaning that it’s in a viewable format (Word, PowerPoint, PDF) and that the file size is not enormous (don’t make a video and expect it to upload, for example).
