Requirements
Students can choose between a research project, a musical/artistic project or a combination of both. Projects require a substantial amount of documentation, and will be presented in the form of a website. The deliverables are:
- Weekly progress reports: in-class critiques and documentation, in a form of progress report logs (blogs)
- A final website with all the detailed descriptions, progress report logs, final presentation / demo / performance / video, and any data needed to reproduce your results (where applicable) (tips on creating research websites)
Grading
The grading criteria will be based on:
- Creativity: is it a novel idea, new creative project or creative solution to a problem?
- Execution: how well crafted is the project?
- Presentation: are your deliverables well presented and explained?
- Own-goal achievements: did you achieve your own goals that you set out for the project?
