 *  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. Your statement of intent will be 300 words, free of typos, and posted to your Wikiversity userspace. Here is an example.


 * overview. What you intend to accomplish, stated in quantitative terms.
 * rationale. What do you hope to get out of this?
 * publication/presentation. How will the public access the work?
 * schedule. Build a realistic order of events.
 * anticipated problems. What might go wrong? How will you compensate?

Workshop
You will have a piece of writing critiqued by the class, at least 1,500 words (or less with my permission if you wrote a villanelle). The workshop is explained fully here.

Reader's Report
You will select and read something of some significance to what you are trying to accomplish this quarter, and you will write a short (200-word) review of it. Not what it was about, but what you got out of it.

Publication/Presentation
Your project will be presented in two ways.
 * On your wikiversity userpage.
 * In one of the following formats:
 * 1) A physical zine of at least ten copies.
 * 2) A performance/recording that is available to the public.
 * 3) Attempts toward publication.

Participation

 * attendance, including field trips
 * active in discussion and during in-class assignments
 * self assessment
