Skills
Developing prototyping skill for working with interactive media. Enhancing

Activities
Each student will execute a series of exercises, present their work for
critique, take part in the critiques, keep a sketchbook of ideas.
There are nine different groups of exercises, each exploring a different
aspect of interactive media. Each exercise will be discussed in a critique
session. There will be one critique per week. Students are required to
present their work and to critique the work of other students. Each person
is required to maintain a sketchbook of their ideas. Each exercise should
have many sketches created for it before any code is written. Work will
be presented at the end of the quarter in a student-planned exhibition.
All exercises will be executed in the Processing environment.
Evaluation
Projects will be evaluated on their originality, aesthetic qualities,
and conceptual sophistication. Feedback will be primarily qualitative
but numeric scores will also be given for each exercise. All exercises
must be completed to pass the course. The numeric breakdown follows:
10% Participation (Attendance + Contribution)
10% Sketchbook
60% Exercises A-H
20% Exercise I
If you will not be in class, it is your responsibility to inform the TA.
Failure to complete all exercises will result in not passing the course.
Students may resubmit their exercises at the end of the course in order
to raise their score.
