Here is a link to our class section Thesis Shared Notes, which can be a quick reference for links to the Thesis Syllabus for the whole year, just Fall 2024, Office Hour Appointments, Progress Update Form and resources discussed in class.

Here are the assignments for this 2 week cycle as a quick summary from the Part 1 Schedule - Fall 2024 doc (click on the doc for more context, tips, and resources):

Wed Sept 18, 3:30pm at Red Square

  1. Attend the ITP Librarian talk

Due on Sun Sept 22 at 11:59pm are:

2. Draw a diagram describing your inquiry space (aka ideas surrounding an idea you want to explore further) - any kind of diagram will do, but share your thought space visually

  1. Start building your repository for inspiration.

The pre-work for both of these tasks is to do some mind mapping on one idea/theme/topic (or a few) you're curious about and want to consider and gather inspiration on. If you're new to mind mapping, or if you prefer a more guided experience, here's a slide deck you can use.

One place I suggested during class for nice inspiration bibliographies is MOMA R&D Salons and prior Thesis Projects (prior to 2024 is on Vimeo) but don't limit yourself when finding inspiration!

Due on Wed Sept 25 at noon are:

  1. Comments for your section peers - I can send a follow-up about this later
