Final Activity: Guide For The Final Exam

Carbon and its Compounds

Final Activity

Instructions:

1.Divide the topics in eight teams.

2. Each team will make a document with the following:

-Theoretical framework as an introduction (summary of the related theory)

- Design 15 random questions (short answers)

- Design 15 to 20 exercises.

- Add a recommended application (iOS or Android) that can be used to study or understand better the topic. (If not possible, you should add at least 5 books including pages and library codes).

- You should include comments / recommendations regarding the application that you found an / or the books that you recommended.

We will work in the library for at least two days (Tuesday and Thursday).

Due date: Friday, May 3th.

AN EVALUATION RUBRIC WILL BE SOON AVAILABLE IN BLACKBOARD.

3. The final document will be uploaded in discussion board and shared with the rest of the group.

Note: if you decide to write the exercises by hand you will need to scan them or make physical copies for the rest of the teams and the teacher.
