Assessment
Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due.
Four pieces, weighted 20 + 25 + 10 + 45, summing to 100. They are one artefact submitted four times: the Dossier gains a numbered section every week, goes in at weeks 4 and 8, is red-teamed, and closes as the capstone.
The capstone is the applications you were going to send anyway. It is graded on the process record — never on the outcome, never on whether anyone said yes, and never on the name of the organisation.
