 In addition to the overall project outcome, projects will be evaluated in part by considering your own assessment of the overall project grade, your individual contribution to the project, and each of your team member’s contribution.

 - Lateness Penalties
-Assignments received later than the due date will be penalized one-half grade point per day that they are late. Exceptions to the lateness penalty for valid reasons such as illness, compassionate grounds, etc. will be entertained by the Course Director only when supported by written documentation (e.g., a doctor’s letter). Students may take a limited number of courses for degree credit on an ungraded (pass/fail) basis. For full information on this option see Alternative Grading Option in the Faculty of Fine Arts section of the  [[Undergraduate Calendar]].

+====== Materials ======
+  *  Tools
+The focus of this course is the pursuit of the research topic at hand, and not the development ofa specific tool. Therefore the tools used for this course can be derived from any number of sources, based on the student’s experience and what is ideal to carry out the project proposal. Emphasis will likely be placed on tools and techniques that are focused on in Digital Media courses, such as Max/MSP/Jitter, Arduino, OpenFrameWorks and Java.
+  * Lab Materials and Access
+The Digital Media Program has a wealth of resources for you to work with. For details on lab materials and access, please see: David Han, Digital Media Lab Technician,

+  * Course Website
+A course website will be maintained for students to use for documentation and presentation of their work. Details on access and location of the site are forthcoming.
+====== Course Plan ======
+  * Workshops
+Workshops will be given throughout the course on an ad hoc basis. Workshops will be
+determined based on the common needs of the students, student input, and the availability of workshop leaders.
+  * Mentors
+Although not always possible, ideally the projects will be realized under the supervision of outside mentors. We will seek mentors based on the project proposals that are provided early in the process. Mentors may be faculty from either the Department of Computer Science and Engineering or the Faculty of Fine Arts or the Communication Studies program of the Division of Social Science, Faculty of LA&PS. Mentors in industry are also possible. All mentors will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

-a. Tools
+The following is the schedule for the course. Lectures for this 24-week course are 3 hours. Homework and other deliverables should be completed before the start of class the day they are due. As a project development course, the courses will be divided into two main development periods that consist of Project Development, Conceptualization, and Planning; and Development/Prototyping as outlined below. Because of the unpredictable nature of the project development the Fall 2014

-sources, based on the student’s experience and what is ideal to carry out the project proposal.
+Students will provide a general overview of the state of the research in their chosen area. State of the research is typically in the form of an annotated bibliography and will be a component ofthe final paper. Individuals will present articles and other materials to the class. Materials (links, articles, etc.) should be provided to the class beforehand. All students are responsible for participating the discussions that follow the presentations.
