This class is very focused on hands on practice. Different skill levels will yield different results so we will be self-evaluating on time spent on assignments and risk taking, even if that results in mistakes; this is a learn by doing model! Through individual spreadsheets and critical reflections, students have the opportunity to communicate their individual goals to be evaluated on. This allows students of all levels of experience to participate in the class. The class will also be focused on an INQUIRY BASED MODEL OF TEACHING. Throughout the semester, the class will decide if they will be working on individual projects or a possible group project. This is an iterative process and students are expected to pass in incomplete work to be reviewed on a weekly basis. Evaluation is based on a point system that the students can track. Students will be evaluated on attendance, reflections and exercises, three assignments at the end of each section. The class is structured on a point system totaling 100.
