Interdisciplinary tension with project work

Twenty students. Sixteen projects. Five Workshop Skills. Four academic disciplines. One grading system.

I’m forced into managing several things:

*generally defining what makes outstanding work within an academic discipline in a way that most projects could reach. For example, what are the social science skills that might emerge in most projects?

*making sure the students understand these standards for their three deliverables AND can point at the work they’ve done that I might miss. (As DW noted yesterday, Clapper doesn’t see everything.)

Steps for today:
1. What academic discipline is most represented in your project?
2. How does your project measure up to these definitions of outstanding?
3. What do you still need to do?
