Taurus 856 | Reflections on Studies | FTH 202 Assignment 5
Submission Requirement: This module's assignment is a time of reflection on all that you learned throughout this course. There are three parts to this assignment.
NOTE: Students must accomplish all tasks using parts provided by SDI. Any deviation from that must receive prior approval from the faculty.
Part One:
Using your revolver as a demonstration piece, show and describe all of the areas in your revolver that are of particular interest when inspecting the "health" of the firearm and explain why these areas are of particular concern.
Part Two:
Identify 10 different learning experiences you have had throughout this course and articulate why those were learning experiences for you and how you plan to strengthen those points in the future.
Part Three:
Discuss what you feel are the unique features that are found within the doubleaction revolver platform, like the one that you received as part of this course, and articulate how those features have developed over time and what they do for the ultimate performance of the firearm.
Video Requirements and Resources:
Your video submission should not exceed 10 minutes and should include all criteria listed in the grading rubric.
For academic integrity purposes, when submitting videos, please state your name, the date, and the course title at the beginning of your video.
If this assignment requires outside sources, you will need to verbally cite your sources in your video. Your brief verbal citation should include the author of the publication (if applicable) and/or website, the title of the publication, and the date (if available). When introducing the source, use a simple introductory phrase such as, "According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the shotgun is the only firearm allowed for use in turkey hunting in wildlife management areas." Or, "In his article Shotgun Malfunctions, from Guns.com, Clint Smith argues that the Remington 1100 is a better choice than the Remington 1187 for selfdefense."
