HIST*4170Project Report Criteria 12 March 2013
Recall: TheProject Parameters • Capstone project: “intensive, active learning project, requiring significant effort in the planning and implementation, as well as preparation of a substantial final work product” • Final work product = • Your project itself – website, etc. • Project Report (due April 9th) • The following elements should be detailed in the project report • If they are in the project itself, or on a blog post, then you can refer to them.
Project Report I. Project Background • Position your project in your disciplinary framework • Refer to relevant Digital Humanities ideas or theory • Review cognate projects • In what way/ways is it a digital humanities project? • Discuss your main goals (Engagement, Pedagogy , Research, or Educational) and how your planned to achieve it.
Project Report II.Data Acquisition • Discuss the sources and data for your project, and how your project created new source/data, or re-purposed and/or modified existing data • Were there any intellectual property issues? III. Tool application • Discuss which tools you chose to use for your project, and why. • Were alternatives explored – if so, why were they unsuitable? IV. New Skill Development • Describe the new skills you developed.
Project Report V. Reflection • In the final section, reflect on the project and what you have learned from it. Consider areas such as: • How you did (or did not) push yourself into unfamiliar academic, methodological and technological territory • Your time commitment – was it enough? • Your level of engagement • The challenges of self-directed learning • What you learned about the possibilities or limitations of digital humanities • Availability of resources (University of Guelph, online) • The value and challenges of collaboration • (I expect this will be a larger section for the chapbooks project participants, who should also informally evaluate your peers’ contribution and comment on group dynamics)
Presentations • A final working model of your project needs to be presented • Schedule: • March 26th – [all those who presented on Feb 26] • April 2nd – [all those who presented March 5] • Next week is a workshop class – attendance voluntary • April 6th – Scottish Studies Colloquium • April 9th – project report due
