gathering note and discussion paper
First,
For HW #2, students will be reading and gathering notes from a set of five (5) journal articles attached. These journal articles include:
“Safety Impacts of Access Management Features Near Roundabouts†by Priyanka Alluri, Albert Gan, Andres Diaz, and Ruth Steiner.
“Safety Evaluation of Roundabouts in Georgia†by Franklin E. Gbologah, Angshuman Guin, and Michael O. Rodgers,
“On-Road Evalation of Emission Impacts of Roundabouts†by Shauna L. Hallmark, Bo Wang, Abhisek Mudgal, and Hillary Isebrands,
“Impact of Geometric Factors on the Capacity of Single-Lane Roundabouts†by Mark T. Johnson and Ting-Li Lin, and
“How Roundabout Entry Design Parameters Influence Safety†by Jan Novak, Jiri Ambros, and Jindrich Fric.
When gathering notes, students should avoid simply copying and pasting passages from the journal articles but rather focus on expressing the thoughts in the students’ own words. While doing this, passages may be copy and pasted (within quotes) and properly referenced but these must accompany an explanation of the passage/section as developed by the student. The point is to display knowledge and understanding.
Second,
Discussion Paper ( International Perspectives: Highway Design ).
Elements of the discussion paper are similar to the CEE (Civil Engineering) departmental preferred homework format and the general elements of a course paper. However, the length is neither as limited as a typical homework problem nor as extensive as a typical course paper. That is, the discussion paper be succinct with the essential elements covered with minimal extraneous material. Elements of the discussion paper include:
 Given/Find (introduction): Provide your interpretation of the problem/task in brief – perhaps a paragraph or two.
ï‚· Solution (answer): Summarize the various reference documents and analyze the similarities and dissimilarities (compare/contrast). Use of tables and figures for summarization and discussion related to those tables and figures is expected.
ï‚· Conclusions (reflection): How does impact you and your conception of transportation.
