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.
