In this semester-long assessment, students read a fun popular science book that relates to the course material. Each week, a group of students leads the discussion of a chapter by annotating the chapter in Perusall with a scientific paper link including a summary and questions, adding questions for other students to answer, and following up with their peers’ annotations. The other students collaborate as a class to annotate the chapter with their thoughts on the scientific papers from the leaders, future research ideas, comments relating the book to lecture material, images and videos, and other questions and comments.
