PROJECT GUIDELINES
Students should collectively create a video, audio recording, blog, comic strip, co-authored essay, performance or any kind of media that you wish to propose that teaches the people of the future about your topic and what it means in the world right now.
After you have proposed your chosen format (in class, after the midterm), we will discuss expectations around project length. This will be determined by the number of group members you have and the type of media you have proposed to produce.
Your group is expected to conduct scholarly research on your topic, integrating 8-10* scholarly articles with no more than half from our class syllabus. Newspapers, magazines, and blogs are not considered scholarly, but may be integrated into the project.
Your goal is to make an argument about the phenomenon you’re study. We’ll discuss how best to do this in class.
You will have all of Week 9 to work on your projects–we will not be having class, but the room will be open for you to use.
You must submit links and a bibliography to Canvas by the project deadline
All group members must submit a peer and self-evaluation. Completion will count towards your class contribution grade.
*This can be 6-8 scholarly sources for people who wind up working alone or in a pair.
