Museum as Medium Binder Repository

Student responsibilities & expectations 

• Students need to keep up with excellent note taking skills in their Museum as Medium Binders.                This includes complete with notes from lecture, from our site-visits, student research, essay notes, etc, and will include all written responses and on-site take-aways, website materials, etc.
• Binders will be collected for grading at Midterm and in the final week of classes.
• It is the student’s responsibility to be prepared with all assignments in a thoughtful and fully engaged manner.  
• Students need to be wary of time management concerns and restraints of the term.

FA351         Museum @ Medium Binder Midterm                      Name

Objectives + Goals:

Throughout our term together you should be using your sketchbook as a collector of ideas.

It should be well organized and be thorough.  It is a place to store all on-site visit notes, lecture notes, research notes, notes taken from lectures, videos, notes when I introduce a project, the research you may conduct on your own, and more.  

Your Museum as Medium Binder is your repository that stores valuable materials of our course together! 

I expect that your binder is well organized, thoughtfully considered, well cared for, exhibits time and activity, and is complete.
