You will be assigned to create sketchnotes in response to certain readings and other artifacts.
Drawing visual notes, or sketchnotes, is a form of information visualization, taking the information presented in a work and synthesizing it into visual form. Creating them is a great way to internalize and synthesize information; you digest the information through drawing it.
You may use a tablet or a physical notebook to create sketchnotes. You must use a handheld pencil or pen-like implement to create your sketchnotes.
