a. Assignments/Presentations/Participation 1. Assignments: Assignments should be expected every week. Some assignments will be specific, while most assignments are an assessment of the student or group’s progress. Assignments may be given to the class as a whole or specifically to a student or group as deemed necessary. Regardless everyone should have something ready to show from week to week. Whatever the case, the mantra for the course should be “make-make-make.” 2. In-Class Presentations: Often during the course specific in-class presentation assignments will be given. However, in addition, students should be prepared to show their progress every week as part of their weekly progress check. 3. Documentation: Students should be documenting their work throughout the course. Periodical checks of documentation should be included in the in-class presentations and weekly assessments. Documentation will be made on the course wiki and will include strategies such as: blogging, photographing, journaling, video, and sound recording. Documentation should be a document of the progress of your work. b. Midterms Midterm grade will be based on the project proposals and project proposal presentations. Deliverables will include a written project proposal, a presentation, and a poster and prototype(s). A review held on the last two weeks of fall term to discuss the project proposals. This review will be open to Digital Media Faculty and students.
