Project Grading & Guidelines
Since the range of final projects will be too diverse to implement a unified criteria for evaluation, grades will be contract-based. That is, each group will collectively work with the professor to arrive at a reasonable set of deliverables, standards and expectations suited for the nature of the project.
General Grading Breakdown
10% – Informal Project Pitch (10-min in-class presentation during weeks 4 and 5)
10% – Formal Project Proposal (Written document submitted to the professor by weeks 6 and 7)
40% – Final Delivery & Presentation of Projects (Tues, Mar 21 @ 10am). This includes 3-4pp reflection about the creative process.
Informal Project Pitch (Weeks 4 & 5)
You will spend no more than 10-15 minutes in class informally explaining your subject/story, chosen mode(s) of representational techniques and why, where you plan to exhibit this media, and your intended audience(s). Ideally, you would find another project or two to use as an inspiration or model for your own projects.
We will break project pitch presentation into two groups. Group 1 will present in week 4. Group 2 will present in week 5. We may do this as larger in-class presentations or in smaller groups.
Formal Project Proposals (Due via email by Weeks 6 & 7)
After your first project pitch, you will need to meet with the professor soon after to flesh out your project further, agree upon a reasonable list of deliverables, and decide upon when you will present a work-in-progress to the class. You will need to bring in your group’s collective set of agreements with you to the meeting. This is an essential stage of this process.
You will then produce a signed written documentation of agreed-upon expectations, which needs to be emailed within two weeks of your Informal Project Pitch.
