Music 215 assignment for Wednesday June 11, 2014

“Final Exam”

Wednesday June 11, 2014 2:00-4:00 pm in Music and Media 216 (REALab)

Come to the final session prepared to give a 20-minute presentation of your research paper. If you don’t have time to do a polished PowerPoint/Keynote presentation, that’s all right, but you should at least be able to give a clear verbal presentation of your paper, comparable in formality and scope to a presentation you would give in a conference that had published your paper.

No later than 12:00 noon on Thursday June 12, deposit your completed research paper and your complete Max project (including any necessary accessory files) in the EEE DropBox for this class titled “FinalProject&Paper”. Your paper should include a bibliography of works cited. Your Max project should contain extensive commentary (comments in the patches, and if necessary a “Read Me” file and/or User’s Manual) sufficient for another programmer to understand exactly how your program works.

Music 215 assignment for Wednesday June 4, 2014

In class we’ll work on addressing whatever problems you’re dealing with in your projects/compositions. Thus, it’s important that you come to class having done sufficient work on your project that we have really substantive issues to discuss, since this will be our last class meeting before the concert. The two main things you should be ready to discuss this Wednesday are a) as in-depth-as-possible a description of your composition, so that the rest of us can give you suggestions and feedback, and b) clearly defined explanations of any problems you’re having trouble solving for your project, with an example of what you have tried so far.
