Teaching format tip

Infographics

Teach students to deconstruct visual arguments by identifying how design choices influence perception. Students should evaluate information hierarchy, data accuracy, and potential bias in representation. Use infographics as models for synthesizing complex information into accessible formats. Challenge students to verify sources and consider what information might be missing or oversimplified.

Report

Provide detailed formatting guidelines and evaluation criteria upfront. Students should demonstrate comprehensive understanding through systematic analysis and clear communication. Establish peer review processes to improve quality before final submission. Use reports as capstone experiences that integrate multiple course concepts and demonstrate advanced analytical capabilities.
