# Final Projects for CIN1101
## Some parameters
Due by 11:59pm on Friday, 26 April. If you are going to miss this deadline, write me early and often. Papers are due to the #work channel on Matrix.
The task is to engage in an act of theorizing, however you wish to understand that. You are expected, but not required, to discuss this act of theorizing with me in office hours, well before the paper is due.
Papers should be ~20pp. (6,000 words, +/- 15%). I will stop reading at 7,500 words, and not accept a paper less than 5,000 words. Notes/bibliography included. Use Chicago footnotes or MLA-style citations.
You may work in a medium/genre/format other than 6,000 words of scholarly prose. If you choose to do that, I ask you to submit the equivalent amount of work, in that different medium/genre/format. In addition, I will require that you submit a "maker's statement" that explicates the project, your choices, your interests. The parameters of such a statement will be neogiated one-on-one with Scott.
In addition to the above, I ask that you submit a "cover letter" for your work, by email, to Scott (this is not public). The tone need not (should not) be formal: it's an email from you to me. That said, your cover letter should address the following questions:
* What did you set out to do?
* How well did you think you achieved it?
* What do you think you could do to get closer to your goal?
* If your goals shifted, how did they shift?
* If you had more time to work on this, where would it go for you? (Or would you cast it aside?)
* What do you want to learn from Scott about this piece of work?
