<h3 id="open-access-notebook-workshop-and-peer-feedback"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#open-access-notebook-workshop-and-peer-feedback"></a>Open-Access Notebook Workshop and Peer Feedback</h3>
This week is a dedicated workshop period for you to focus on your final project. The goal is to draft your final reflection, publish a preliminary version of your Open-Access Notebook, and, most importantly, engage in a mandatory peer feedback process to help refine our projects as a community before final submission.
A Note on a Successful Week: By the end of this week, you should aim to have a complete draft of your final reflection and a working, if unpolished, link to your published Open-Access Notebook that you can share for feedback with your peers.
Key Learning Goals: By the end of this module, students will be able to:
<ul>
<li>Draft their final "Exit Ticket" reflection.</li>
<li>Provide and receive constructive peer feedback using web annotation tools.</li>
<li>Utilize optional support channels for targeted feedback and technical support.</li>
</ul>

<ol>
<li>
[ ] Writing the Final "<a href="/Crafting%20Digital%20History/4.%20Assessment/6%20Exit%20Ticket" title="Exit Ticket">Exit Ticket</a>" Reflection:
<ul>
<li>This is your final paper for the course. Your main writing task this week is to produce a complete draft.</li>
<li>The paper is a 1000+ word reflection on your growth throughout the term, what you learned, what you found difficult, and what new insights you can apply to future research. A key component of this paper must be a reflection on the growth and evolution of your Open-Access Notebook.</li>
<li>Use images/screenshots of your vault to showcase your work, ie, a graph view of your notes and their links.</li>
<li>Embed links to websites, videos, 3D models, or anything that supports your observations.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
[ ] Reassessing Your Open-Access Notebook:
<ul>
<li>This is your main technical task. Using the Mixa plugin, reassess your vault. Look through past notes and refine some as needed. Do you have notes that are not curated, turned into atomic notes? If so, work on those. Did not complete a literature note? Then update those.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
[ ] Key Plugins &#x26; Skills for this Week:
<ul>
<li>Install the Journey plugin. 'Journey' will find paths through your notes from a starting note to a finishing note. It helps me assess how your Memex/Open-access notebook has evolved.</li>
<li>See <a href="/4%20Personal%20Open%20Access%20Notebook%20or%20Memex#The%20Final%20Journey" title="4 Personal Open Access Notebook or Memex#The Final Journey">4 Personal Open Access Notebook or Memex#The Final Journey</a> for detailed instructions.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
[ ] Mandatory Peer Feedback:
<ul>
<li>This is a required activity designed to apply your analytical skills and support your classmates. I have created a dedicated <code>#peer-feedback</code> channel in our Discord.</li>
<li>Step A: Share Your Work. You are required to post the live URL to your draft Open-Access Notebook in the <code>#peer-feedback</code> channel.</li>
<li>Step B: Provide Feedback. You will be assigned and are required to visit your classmates' sites and provide constructive feedback using Hypothes.is. You must leave 2-3 thoughtful annotations on their site, offering praise, asking clarifying questions, or pointing out areas that are particularly effective or need improvement. Please ensure your annotations are in the Hist/DIGH 3814 Hypothes.is group. This is a practical application of the open, collaborative scholarship we've been discussing.
<ul>
<li>**Use a Tag with your initials (#sjc) or name (#scottcoleman) in each annotation you make. There is a section to insert tags: <img src="https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/resource.mixa.site/cdh2025/Crafting%20Digital%20History/3.%20Tutorials/02%20assets/Hypothesis/Hypothesis%20Tags.png" priority="1"> This allows me to assess your annotations in accordance with the assignment objectives.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
[ ] Optional: One-on-One Final Project Check-In:
<ul>
<li>I will be holding optional, 15-minute one-on-one check-ins via Discord. This is the best time to get help with technical issues in Mixa, to get feedback on a draft of your reflection, or to discuss the peer feedback you've received. A sign-up sheet will be posted in the <code>#announcements</code> channel.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
[ ] Weekly Reflection (Ungraded):
<ul>
<li>In your journal, create a progress report. What did you accomplish this week? What is the biggest remaining task for your project? Crucially, reflect on the peer feedback process: What was the most valuable piece of feedback you received? What was the most insightful observation you made on a classmate's project? How will this feedback shape your final revisions next week?</li>
</ul>
