Requirements
Students can choose between a research project, a musical/artistic project or a combination of both. Projects require a substantial amount of documentation in the form of a website. The deliverables are:
- Weekly progress reports: in-class and website documentation, in a form of progress report logs (blogs)
- A website with all the detailed descriptions, progress report logs, and any data needed to reproduce your results (tips on creating research websites)
- Some sort of final presentation / demo / performance / video (format to be announced).
Final Presentations
The final presentation format, date, and time will be determined within the first few weeks of class.
Grading
The grading criteria will be based on:
- Creativity: is it a novel idea 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?
