Self-Assessments

Final Project
Final Project options will be available after week 6.
In addition to completing a final project, you will also present your work to the class during our last meeting.
Your final project, including a draft, is worth 30% of your final grade. Your project presentation is worth 10%. Guidelines for your presentation will be distributed after week 8.
Every week, you will be asked to physically annotate a selection of text from our readings. Guidelines for annotation can be found here.
Your annotation should be included in your commonplace book, which comes to class with you every week.
The Weather Quilt is a course project that we all contribute to.
Each member of the class will be assigned a day and time to record the weather on a piece of cyanotype-painted cloth. Instructions on process will be shared in class.
At the end of the semester, we will sew our squares together to make a course quilt. Your contributions will be worth 15% of your final grade.
