Assessment

Meetings

The class meets six times according to the schedule below. Since a big part of the learning process in this course is sharing and discussing each other's work, students are expected to attend all meetings whether or not they intend to share their own work at a particular session. All course meetings will include time for coaching of project work.

In addition, an ongoing online discussion on this course site will take place between face-to-face meetings to which students are expected to contribute. This forum is the place to seek guidance from the instructor and from other students. By collecting this guidance in this online discussion, we can create resources for everybody to use.
