Assignments

As outlined in the Course Description, the overall grade in this class has five components: three projects, a midterm, and homework. This section provides an overview of these elements.

Projects:

Project 1: Data Mapping
Project 2: Packaging and Promotion
Project 3: Client Service Learning

Midterm:

The Midterm examination consists of two parts: an in-class portion that covers class terms, concepts, and readings (this is completed over two class meetings); a take-home portion that invites a practical solution to a multimedia design problem (this is completed over a calendar week outside of class). The midterm review is available here.

Homework:

Homework includes in-class work, reading responses, written homework, blog posts, etc. The homework grade component comprises all the minor assignments necessary for the progress of the course. Most of these assignments are worth one or two points each. Students must produce thorough, insightful work to receive full credit for homework grades. 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 50 points.
