On the course page is the following text, describing 50% of the final grade for the course:
Project, in the form of a suite of Web pages, on a subject to be negotiated, but including
- a clear spatial and temporal focus
- a clear problem or question in the realm of 'cultural' material, involving the explication of distribution(s) in time and space
- available material to work with in multiple media (books, articles, Web sites)
- probably involving maps, maybe using GIS
Make a log entry to start the process of negotiation: suggest one or maybe several subjects and/or places/times that you're especially interested in... and maybe even suggest a specific 'problem' if you have one in mind. This doesn't commit you to anything, but the sooner we start communicating back and forth, the better.
