About the Virtual Experience

Your virtual experience will take place over the course of this semester and involves taking a bus tour of Sentinel City and completing a Windshield Survey as you observe all that you see. A Windshield Survey is explained in detail in the Final Project, but to summarize, it is a collection of subjective personal observations. It is your personal observations on what you see and experience. It is important that you are sharing your observations, not only relaying information from sources available in the virtual experience.

In each assignment, you will be required to observe specific community core demographics and subsystems, as identified in the unique assignment rubrics provided. You will tour the city, record your observations, and submit a written response that addresses each demographic and/or subsystem listed in the rubric. It is essential that you review the rubric before beginning each assignment, as the rubric will identify what you should look for while in the simulation.

Assignment 1 Criteria

For Assignment 1, please do the following:

Review all requirements in the Assignment 1 Rubric below.

Click on the Enter Sentinel City link in Module 1 and begin your Virtual Experience by taking a bus tour of Sentinel City. Since this is your first tour, please select the slowest speed and stay on the bus the entire time at least once before getting off the bus.

As you take the tour, write down your observations, specifically, those that align with the demographics and/or subsystems listed in the left-hand column of the Assignment 1 Rubric.

After your tour is complete, compile your observations into a 2-4 page paper, with at least 2 scholarly references, addressing each item listed in the first column of the Assignment 1 Rubric. You are encouraged to add other relevant characteristics you observe that may not be listed in the first column. Note: The demographic information available in the virtual setting is not considered one of your scholarly sources.
