IDS 403 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric

Analyzing an Issue or Event in Technology through  the Lenses  of History and the Humanities

Overview  

For  the  first  part  of  your  final project,  the  critical  analysis  portfolio,  you will select  an issue/event of  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  the  interconnected  nature  of 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  second milestone,  due  in  Module Four,  you will analyze  your issue/event  from  Milestone  One  through the  history  and humanities  lenses. This  will provide you  with a  chance  to  practice  analyzing  your issue/event  through  these  lenses  and receive  feedback  on this  practice  attempt.  

Prompt  

First,  review  the  overviews and resources in Modules  One  through  Three, as well as the Four Lenses document from  Module One.  

 

Next,  analyze  your issue/event  through  the  lens  of  history,  and address  the  following:  

• How does this issue/event interact with the history lens and impact social issues?  
• In what ways does the history lens help articulate a deeper understanding  of the  social  issue(s) that inform  your issue/event?  

 

Next,  analyze  your issue/event  through  the  lens  of  the  humanities  by  exploring  the  following questions:  

• How is this issue/event portrayed creatively in society? What is the  message or commentary of this representation?   ?       How  does  this representation interact  with you in  your personal and professional lives?  

 

Note: You are  completing  two  separate  analyses:  one  from  history  and one  from  the  humanities. You  must  submit  two  papers  in a single  Word  document.  Be  sure  to  use  evidence  from  research  to  support  your analysis.  Refer  to  course  resources,  the  LibGuide  for  this  course,  as  well  as  any other pertinent  resources  to  support  your responses. Relevant current  news  sources  may be used with instructor approval. Incorporate  instructor feedback  into  your final  project.  

 

The following  critical  elements  must  be addressed:  

 

       I.             Lens  Analysis:  In this  section  of  your assignment,  you  will analyze  your issue/event  through  two  of the  four  general  education lenses.  

1. Analyze  your issue/event  through the  lens  of  history  for determining its  impact  on  various  institutions. Utilize  evidence  from  research  to  support  your analysis.  
2. Analyze  your issue/event  through the  lens  of  the  humanities  for determining its  impact  on various  institutions. Utilize  evidence  and research to  support  your  analysis.  

Milestone  Rubric  

Guidelines for  Submission:  Final Project  Milestone Two should be submitted as two papers in a single Word  document. The entire submission should be 2–4  pages  in length, double-spaced, using 12-point Times New  Roman font, one-inch margins. 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. 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.  

 

Critical Elements	Proficient (100%)	Needs Improvement (75%)	Not Evident (0%)	Value
Lens Analysis:  History	Analyzes chosen issue or event through the lens of  history  for  determining its impact on  various institutions, using evidence and research to  support analysis	Analyzes chosen issue or event through the lens of  history, but analysis is cursory or illogical,  or supporting evidence is  inappropriate or nonexistent	Does not analyze chosen issue  or event through the lens of  history	40
Lens Analysis:  Humanities	Analyzes chosen issue or event through the lens of  the  humanities  for determining its  impact on various  institutions,  using evidence and research to  support analysis	Analyzes chosen issue or event through the lens of  the  humanities, but analysis is  cursory or illogical, or supporting evidence is  inappropriate or nonexistent	Does not analyze chosen issue  or event through the lens of  the  humanities	40
Articulation  of  Response	Submission  has  no  major  errors  related  to  citations,  grammar,  spelling,  syntax,  or  organization	Submission  has  major  errors  related  to  citations,  grammar,  spelling,  syntax,  or  organization that  negatively  impact readability  and  articulation  of main  ideas	Submission  has  critical  errors  related  to  citations,  grammar,  spelling,  syntax,  or  organization that  prevent  understanding  of ideas	20
