Question

step 4: visualize the algorithm
do this:

• arrange sticky notes into a flowchart.
• add arrows on your sticky notes to show the flow of decisions and outcomes

answer the questions below

1. does your algorithm account for students with urgent needs or those who might face barriers at home?
2. how could your algorithm unintentionally disadvantage certain students?

Explanation:

1. For the first question, one needs to check if the algorithm has provisions like special - access times, additional support channels for students with urgent needs or home - based barriers.
2. For the second question, possible reasons could be if the algorithm assumes all students have equal access to resources (e.g., technology, quiet study space), or if it has time - bound requirements that some students can't meet due to home circumstances.

Answer:

1. Answers may vary. If the algorithm has features such as priority queues for urgent requests or alternative communication channels for students facing home - based issues, then it accounts for them. Otherwise, it doesn't.
2. Answers may vary. For example, if the algorithm requires students to submit work within strict time frames and assumes all students have reliable internet and quiet study spaces at home, it could disadvantage students without such resources.
