Clarifying file types (5 points): Have students download the research project description below [ClarifyingFileTypesAssignment.pdf]. Students should be able to identify several types of files in the description and accurately determine whether they are proprietary or non-proprietary file types. For those that are proprietary, have students suggest possible open/non-proprietary options. [Rubric available below: ClarifyingFileTypesAssignmentRubric.pdf]
