Assignment – ICE Assignment
Overview:
• There are three ICE Assignments in this course. For each, you will be given a choice
of concepts from our Dram205 lectures to discuss.
• Choose a concept and connect it to some aspect of your prior learning. Discuss your
connection using the ICE Method. Make sure you look for a connection
• This ‘aspect of prior learning’ could be a concept/example/idea/topic/theory fromanother Dram205 lecture, from another course, from something you’ve encountered
elsewhere, or from a relevant personal experience.
• You are looking for something that will help you gain new insight into the lecture
concept (or something that the lecture concept will help you see in a new and different
way).

Learning Outcomes:
As a result of completing this assignment…
• …the student will develop and eventually demonstrate the skill of recognizing andselecting effective connections. Effective connections are those that lead to new
learning.
•
…the student will develop the skill of writing concise, direct, and efficient arguments.
• …the student will come to understand the value of making connections not only
towards completing assignments, but as a central part of effective learning.
• …the student will enhance his/her knowledge of a selection of concepts from
Dram205, and through the process of completing the assignment, will integrate those
concepts more fully into his/her own cognitive context.
• …with the aid of publically accessible examples of graded assignments, the student
will develop the ability to self-assess the quality of his/her own work and thinking.
The intent is to encourage personal ownership over learning and academic
development. (Note: we will use the ICE approach to assessment to enable this self-assessment).

Word Count:
• The word count targets in this assignment are there to determine the depth and quality ofthinking. They are not optional.
• (+/- 10%) means that you are required to meet the word limit within 10% of theassigned total. For example, if the word count target is 300 words, you must be within30 words either way of that total (since 30 words is 10% of 300).
• You can borrow words from one section in favour of the other; however, the total word
count of sections 2-4, combined together, cannot exceed 575 words.
Submission & Formatting:
• Since I am asking you to compare course concepts to your own prior learning, you mayuse first person pronouns. However, please remember that these are still formal writing
assignments. I expect a concisely written discussion with appropriate grammar and
correct spelling.• Number each section in your assignment according to the assignment sheet. Include the
word count in each section heading.
• Single spaced, 12 pt font, Times New Roman font.
• Assignments will be uploaded to Moodle.

request. Email me directly with “Dram205 Extension” in the subject line to tell me that
