Weekly Assignments which will allow the student to put into practice concepts covered in class. These assignments will be listed in a "homework" section on the course web page. Beginning with the second week of class each student will create a "Homework" web page that will be used to provide links to all completed weekly assignments. The instructor will use this page as the basis for determing the student's grade for this aspect of the course. Weekly assignments will be graded at various times throughout the course without prior notice-so don't get behind! Also, leave your assignments up at least until you receive a final grade for the semester.

An in-class report on a significant conceptual or theoretical issue related to computing and the humanities-building on topics covered in the journal Computers and the Humanities and/or the Humanist electronic seminar archives. The topic should be one that is directly related to the use of computers in your major/field of study (assuming your major is in the area of the Humanities). Topics must be decided and turned into the instructor no later than Feb. 6. Presentations should be designed to last about 10-15 minutes and you are encouraged to use online materials, handouts or other creative ways to communicate the material. They should demonstrate that students have done quality research and analysis of the issue and should be designed to encourage class discussion. A 2-3 page summary of your presentation is to be posted online and linked from your homework page one week before you are scheduled to present. Presentations will be scheduled by the instructor based on the topic chosen.

A major project on a topic chosen in consultation with a faculty member in the humanities. The project must be in the area of the humanities and it must be approved by both the faculty member and the instructor. This project will be the ulimate culmination of your work in the class. The goal will be to create a high quality resource, with excellent content, design and utilization of technology that will be a genuine contribution to the materials available for your major, something that other people in your academic discipline will want to consult as a useful resource. Note: If your major does not fall under the heading of the humanities you still must choose a humanities topic for your project--No exceptions. Students should consult with a humanities faculty member and have their topic ready before Feb. 13. On Feb. 13 a short paragraph describing the topic along with the name and email address of the professor who advised the student will be due by email. The completed project will be due by April 17.
