Last Day: Final Project Presentations

December 7, 2011 2:14 pm in Supplemental by Anastasia

Final Project Presentations

As a group or individual, share your final work and any exciting discoveries or progress you’ve made so far. Share with us:

  • Your thesis or claim
  • Connection or use of social media
  • The motivation for your project
  • Next steps

You can also take the chance to pose any questions you have for the class and crowdsource resources or solutions. After each presentation, there will be a brief opportunity for feedback and suggestions.

Turning in Your Final Project

Send me a message when your project is complete and ready to be graded, including the names of all group members. If your work is online, include links to every piece. If you prefer to keep your project offline, storing your project in a public dropbox (or another cloud-based file sharing service) and emailing me the link is preferred. I will send you a confirmation after I’ve checked that I can access all files. Final projects are due December 15th at midnight.

Remember: extra credit options and extended final project turn-in are detailed in the post below.

Have a great winter break!

  • For missions after the midterm — 1000 points for up to half of a missing mission, with submission of a summary related to missed content
  • For the final project — the deadline is December 15th at midnight. You can extend that deadline for 25 points an hour (per team member) for up to 72 hours total.
