More specific directions for each project are presented on the subpages linked from the navigation bar on the left. This page presents general directions and expections for all projects.
All projects will be judged based on a three-criteria scale. Some of the questions in my mind as I'm assigning criteria grades are as follows.
Professionalism
Does the project conform to all the directions presented for the project's directions page? Does it fully cite and credit all original work by others used in its creation? Does every html page include the foundational requirements for effective communication on the web:
- Author's name (i.e. Who)
- Specific, detailed title (i.e. What)
- Author's affiliation (i.e. Where)
- Date of completion or revision (i.e. When)
- At least one link back to a home page
Craft
Does the project demonstrate technical accomplishment and mastery of tools? Does it execute its intentions in a skilled and polished way? Are all words correctly spelled? Are time-based elements effectively sychronized? Is the layout flexible, accomodating different monitor sizes and resolutions?
Creativity
Does the project make effective use of visual, temporal, and/or sonic aesthetics? Is it thematically unified? Does it make effective use of balance and constrast in its color and compsitional choices? Does it demonstrate a unique, individual aesthetic? Does it avoid visual, generic, and other clichés? Is it distinct from the work completed by other students and from examples shown in class?
