H79.2540 Lecture 4 Credits
Instructor(s): O'Sullivan
This course is an environment for students to work on existing project ideas that may fall outside the topic areas of existing classes. It is basically like an independent study with more structure and the opportunity for peer learning. This particular studio is appropriate for projects requiring programming work, in any language, on a client or a server, on a pc or a phone. Beyond programming the project should also develop conceptually through research of prior art, feedback from classmates and user testing. There are required weekly meetings to share project development and get critique. Students must devise and complete their own weekly assignments updating the class Wiki. They also must present to the class every few weeks. As topics of general interest emerge, a member of the class or the instructor takes class time to cover them in depth. The rest of the meeting time is spent in breakout sessions with students working individually or in groups.
