Task

Task #1

Part 1: Solo Activity and Group Discussion

Test your ability to recall a suspect's face using the How is Your Memory for Faces? interactive.

  • Click "Start" to begin.
  • Click "Play" to freeze the face.
  • After studying the face for a few minutes, click "Ready."
  • Try to recreate the face by selecting the pieces from the lists. When you are satisfied, click "Okay."

Record your results.

  • Write down how many bits of the face you got correct.
  • Take a screenshot of your creation and the original. You can toggle between them by click "See Original" and "See Yours" under the image.

Consider the experience.

  • Based on this experience, as well as information given in the lesson, write a post on the 1.05 Eyewitness Discussion board, addressing the following:
    • How confident were you about your choices? Were some aspects of the face easier to remember? Why do you think this was the case? State your opinion and your reasoning in 2-3 sentences.
    • Do you think eyewitness accounts or line-up results should be admissible as evidence in the court of law? State your opinion and your reasoning in 2-3 sentences.
  • Your post should contain complete sentences.
  • Read over your classmates' posts to learn about their experiences and their thoughts.

When participating in an online discussion, you should use formal, standard English and obey all conventions of punctuation and spelling. Avoid abbreviations or symbols used in texting, messaging, or informal conversation.

The activity on the 1.05 Eyewitness Discussion is ungraded, but you must participate on the discussion board to successfully complete Part 2 of this assignment!

Part 2: Conclusions

Use the information gathered by you and your classmates to complete 1.05 Eyewitness. This is Part 2 of the task and should be completed after the discussion in Part 1.
