To synthesize a module, you read the module text, taking note of the separate elements of information that you find most interesting or relevant that you want to remember. You then re-write this information in your own language to form a coherent whole. You might consider framing the task as follows: Imagine you are at a party long after this class is finished and someone asks, “What do you know about ___________(e.g., opera)?” Your synthesis essay is your answer.
This is an optional activity and you may choose to do a synthesis essay for none, one, or two of the modules within a Part. Synthesis essays are due in ‘batches,’ such that all the module essays for a Part are due at the Part Level deadline. Do not submit your essays incrementally; wait until you are ready to submit all the essays for that “Part.” In other words, don’t do Module 1 Synthesis, submit it, and then come back later to submit Module 3 Synthesis, as the system will not allow you to do so
Be sure to rewrite things into your own words and rely only on the module text. Your essay will be compared against the module itself as well as all other students’ and internet-based writing on the topic.
We recommend that you write your essay in a word processing program like Microsoft Word, then check for grammar, spelling, and word count (write a minimum of 500 words, but not more than 600 words). Then copy and paste it into the Answer box in the appropriate assignment (in Assignments, Tests, and Surveys.)
Each module synthesis will be graded on content combined with its “Originality Rating” (the percentage Turnitin designates as reflecting how much your writing is original writing as opposed to simply copying). Excellent to Superior (90-100); Very Good (80-89); Good (70-79); Acceptable (60-69); Unacceptable (0 to a potential of -100)
Choose one (100 pts) or two (200) pts modules per Part.
