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"]
Due in last week of course. Must be posted before each student's scheduled presentation of their proposal. (For assignment details, see Assignments.)
