Progettino

Independent work—expectations

It’s a packed week, with lots to learn and practice. The purpose of the progettino is to provide space to apply concepts and methods independently, without the support of tutorials.

You don’t have much time for this mini-project, so what is expected?

• Decide on a topic or question that’s interesting to you.
• Locate relevant data.
• Frame your question or topic spatially—for example, how do density, distance, proximity, or context matter?
• Think about what sorts of methods and approaches might be useful?
• You don’t have much time, so no need to be over-ambitious! Focus on the achievable and interesting (to you).
• I’m available to talk through ideas!

Sharing with peers

On Friday morning we’ll come together as a group to share what we’ve been working on.

• About 5 minutes per person.
• No need for a formal presentation—a map or two is sufficient!
• This should be a positive process, a chance to reflect on how much you’ve learned, and an opportunity to learn more about your peers’ interests and expertise!
