Computer Labs:
After the fourth week, we assume that students will be working intensively
in their interest groups, scheduling computer lab time according to the
needs of each particular project. The program faculty will be available
to provide plenty of assistance in the Mac Lab on Thursday mornings. Also,
there will be one interest group that focuses on graphics. This group will
do most of their work with Steve Davis in the Graphics
Imaging Lab in the library media area.

Student Interest Groups:
Starting after the third week, students will divide into small interest
groups (5-6 members) where they will do a substantial part of their work
for the quarter. These interest groups will take on the WWW and internet
as a substantive resource in a research project that explores power relations
on the web. Each faculty member will work with one of the interest groups.
Some suggested areas of inquiry: sexual politics/identity in a scientistic
culture; the new rhetoric of science--the scientific persona--on the WWW;
architectural metaphors and forms . . . We expect that each of these interest
groups will work toward producing a collaborative, web-based presentation/performance
of their work.

Evaluations:
Students are required to attend all schedules class meetings. The
final evaluation will include the student's work in the interest group,
seminar participation, and attendance in all-program activities. Seminar
evaluations: each student will start the quarter by writing a statement
of her/his goals. The quarter will end with a statement about how the student
met these goals. These statements will be incorporated into the final evaluation.
Each interest group will be responsible for writing a description of their
project that will be included in the final evaluation.
