 *  Your grade in this class is divided into thirds: participation, workshop, and project.

Statement of Intent
You are responsible for deciding what you will produce this quarter, with the one caveat that I will vet your project idea(s) based on appropriateness of scope and responsiveness to the theme of the class. Your statement of intent will be 300 words, free of typos, and posted to your Wikiversity userspace. It will include the following.


 * Overview. What you intend to accomplish, stated in quantitative terms.
 * Rationale. What do you hope to get out of this?
 * Presentation. How will this project be made available to the public?
 * Schedule. Build a realistic order of events.
 * Anticipated Problems. What might go wrong? How will you compensate?

Workshop
Between weeks 3 and 9 you will sign up for a workshop, during which you will have some significant piece of writing critiqued by the class. The workshop process is explained fully here.

Presentation
Your project must be made available to the public, either online, as a physical zine with a print run of at least 10, or in another publication.

Participation

 * Attendance, including field trips
 * Active in discussion and during in-class assignments

I Met With Steve
You will meet with me twice during the quarter, during class, to discuss how your project is coming along, and to continue to focus and produce it. Our first meeting will be on or before week 6, the second will be after.

Self Assessment
This is due, posted at your user page, on the final week of the quarter.
