COURSE INDEX

Assessment

Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due.

Four pieces of work, adding to 100. Three of them are the same corpus at different scales: one specimen a week, one specimen argued in depth, and the whole thing curated for someone who was not here.

The fourth is the room. A bench only works if people arrive with something on it.
