IDS 403  Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

Critical Analysis Portfolio and Presentation Proposal

Overview  

For the first part of your final project, the  critical analysis portfolio, you  will select an issue or event in  technology  and  critically analyze it through the four general education lenses: history, humanities, social sciences, and natural and applied sciences. By viewing  the issue/event through  these lenses, you  will gain  insight into how technology  affects society as well as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices, attitudes, and behaviors of others in the  world around  you.  

 

For this first milestone, due in Module Two, you  will select an issue or event to analyze through the four general education lenses. You  will explain the issue or event and its relationship to  technology  as well as describe its connection  to  all four lenses.  

Prompt  

First,  review  the  module  resources  you have  so  far  encountered as  well  as  your work  in  Module  One. In  addition,  it is suggested that you visit the IDS 403 LibGuide  for guidance on how to select a topic. Select  one  issue or event in  technology  and  write  a 2- to  3-page paper that  addresses  how  this issue/event fits  into  the  framework  of technology  and then addresses  how  each lens  influences perceptions and attitudes toward  the issue/event,  technology, and  society. The  paper should  outline  each  lens’s  impact  and framing  of  the  issue  or  event. Be  sure  to  provide  a  working thesis  statement  and clear  definitions  for your  key  terms.  

 

Specifically, you  must address the  critical elements  listed below.   

 

1. Introduction:  You  will compile a series of critical analyses of a single  event or issue in  technology  through the four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences.  
   1. Topic: Using the four lenses, explain how an issue or event within  technology  has or has not influenced modern society.  
2. Lens  Connections:  In  this  section of  your assignment,  you  will describe  the  connections  between  your  issue or event  and  each  of  the  four general education lenses.  
   1. What  is  the  connection  of  your issue or event  to  the  lens  of  history  for determining its  impact  on  various  institutions?  Utilize  evidence  from  theory  and research  to  support  your analysis.  
   2. What  is  the  connection  of  your issue or event  to  the  lens  of  the  humanities?  Utilize  evidence  from  theory  and research to  support  your analysis.  
   3. What  is  the  connection  of  your issue or event  to  the  lens  of  the  natural  and  applied  sciences  for determining its  impact  on various  institutions?  Utilize  evidence from  theory  and research  to  support  your analysis.  
   4. What  is  the  connection  of  your issue or event  to  the  lens  of  the  social  sciences for  determining its  impact  on  various  institutions?  Utilize  evidence  from theory  and research  to  support  your analysis.  

 

Be  sure  to  begin  the research process  early and  use  evidence  from  your  research  to  support  your responses. Refer  to  course resources, the LibGuide for this class, as  well  as  any  other pertinent  resources  to  support  your responses. Although at least two sources are required for each lens, note that you may use the same source for more than one lens if applicable. Relevant current news sources may be used with instructor approval. Incorporate  instructor feedback  into  your final  project.  

Milestone  Rubric  

Guidelines for  Submission:  Final Project  Milestone One should be submitted as a Word document, 2 to  3 pages in length, double-spaced, using 12-point Times  New  Roman font, with one-inch margins. Begin building your references  list for the final project, which requires you  to  support  your responses with at least two  sources for each lens from  the assigned course resources  and/or other scholarly  sources located  independently via the Shapiro  Library.  Note that you may use the same source for more than one lens if applicable. Cite your supporting sources in  APA style.  

 

Please note that the grading rubric for this milestone submission is not identical to that of the final project. The Final Project Part One Rubric will include an  additional “Exemplary” category that provides guidance as to how you can go above and beyond  “Proficient” in  your final submission, as well as additional elements to address
