As outlined in the Course Description, the overall grade in this class has six components: three projects, a portfolio, a midterm, and homework. This section provides an overview of these elements.
The Portfolio description page is here.
The Midterm examination consists of two parts: an in-class portion which covers class terms, concepts, and readings; a take-home portion that invites a practical solution to a multimedia design problem. The in-class midterm review page is here.
Homework includes in-class work, written homework, blog posts, etc. The homework grade component comprises all the minor assignments necessary to the progress of the course. Most of these assignments are worth one or two points each. The final homework grade is a cumulative score based upon how many points you gained against how many were possible for the semester. The semester total is usually somewhere around 30 points.
