Why?

These Microprojects are designed to encourage quick thinking, marrying concept and execution, and class attendance.

Brief

Over the course of the semester, approximately eight randomly assigned in-class Microprojects will be required. A prompt will be given in class and students will have 3–10 minutes to generate a response and submit in class or on Learning Suite. Projects will be primarily graded on completing the assignment, and randomly selected Microprojects will be graded more thoroughly.

Late Policy

If you are absent when a Microproject is assigned, you have until the beginning of class one week after the assignment is made to submit your Microproject. If an assignment is made in class on Tuesday, you have until the beginning of class the following Tuesday to submit the assignment. You may get the prompt from the class lecture/demonstration PDF if available, or from another student. Do not ask the instructor for the missed prompt.

Late assignments are not accepted. You will be allowed to drop one lowest grade for this assignment group.
