Thesis Draft Documents

Draft documents were due 3 October

Your draft documents should include:

1. Revised position statement
2. Revised methodology
3. Revised "make something"
4. An annotated bibliography, to include things read to date, as well as things you intend to read (please differentiate between the two), grouped by topic or theme.

It is recommended that you post these to your blog, so a public record exists, and so that your peers might comment.

Mid-Presentation Requirements

For next week we are asking you to have the following:

1. Refine your position statement.
If the 1+3+9 is useful, you may continue to use it; if not, don't.

2. Refine your methodology
Take another pass at the methodology you wrote/drew/laid out for this week.
Reflect on what was said during your discussions with Art and me.

3. Make something.
Anything, use this design investigation as an opportunity to explore an aspect of your project.
This can be a model, a drawing, a graphic, a movie, etc. Think carefully about the content, but also the craft of the artifact.
This is purposefully open-ended and intended to provide an opportunity for some reflection about the questions you are asking in your thesis.

4. Feel free to bring any additional supporting documentation you might have and think is relevant and want us to discuss
