Cnet is a great website for technology news and review. Their About Us page states, “CNET tracks all the latest consumer technology breakthroughs and shows you what’s new, what matters, and how technology can enrich your life.” I want you to read at least one article or view a video about hardware (not software). Remember hardware is something physical, a part of the computer that you can touch. Then write a brief summary (or create a short presentation) summarizing the article using MS Word or Powerpoint. Brief means no less than 3 sentences but not more than one page. Make sure to your source properly. Post this summary to the Hardware Assignment discussion board. Read at least one other student’s summary on hardware and provide a peer review. A peer review is an evaluation of another student’s academic work. This could include but is not limited to taking a stand on the topic and providing evidence for/against it; providing additional information on the other student’s topic; posing questions about the topic and possible answers; demonstrating your understanding or application of the topic with examples. You may need to cite a source in your reply. Remember that if the information does not come out of your own head, you need to cite it. The summary is work 15 points and the review 5 for a total of 20 points for this assignment. Check your course Detailed Schedule for the due date.
Please open and read this document for an example of a post and peer review.
