English 197, Winter 2014 -- Student Work Posted Online

This branch of the course web side is a repository for assignments that must be posed online.

4-Page Essays (folder for posted essays)

Due Feb. 3. Must be posted by evening on the course site in preparation for class discussion of topics and issues in student papers the next day. For details, see Assignments.

(Counts for 25% of final grade)

Practicums (individual folders for postings of each practicum)

Due in classes 11-18. The first 4 practicums for classes 11-14 are required; students can then choose to do any 2 of the remaining practicums for classes 15-18. Must be posted before the relevant class in the appropriate folder for each practicum. (For details on each practicum, see Assignments.)

Course "practicums" are hands-on, small-scale exercises that ask students to experiment at a beginner's level with the tools of the digital humanities. The goal is not technical mastery but learning enough about the technologies to think about, and through, their concepts. In many cases, experience gained in the practicums will feed directly into discussion of conceptual issues in class.

(Practicums are not graded, but are required to pass the course)

Individual folders in which to post practicum exercises:

Folder for Class 11 Practicum (Exploring Digital Humanities Tools)
[this initial practicum asks students only to bring to class a printed screenshot or other "souvenir"]
Folder for Class 12 Practicum (Text Encoding)
Folder for Class 13 Practicum (Text Analysis 1)
