1) What is the project? (give as concrete a description as possible)
= THESIS =
 
2) What are the practical steps needed to make it?
 
 
13:00 Work on your proposal, dealing with the pointers your peers have made.
 
16:00 Meet as group to chart progress and set achievable aims for the next session (for your proposal AND your practical work)
 
==Intro==
 
You may be asking yourself:
 
Question:  “What do I need to do ahead of the next Graduate Research seminar?”
 
Answer: “Two things: write a concrete proposal and make a prototype or experiment relating to said proposal”.
 
Recap: you are all pretty strong on analyzing the method you use and all of you have something interesting to read and write about, so now you need to
A]  write very practically about what you could make and how you would make it and place that at the beginning of your proposal (don't begin with abstract, theoretical things, the people assessing your proposal will first want to know what the project will be before they find out why it exists and the ideas behind it)  B] make something (a model or a small prototype) ahead of the next session (October 7).
 
The deadline is the 16 November, which will fly by, so apply yourself to the task of writing as practical proposal as possible and making real work to test the proposal(s) you make.
 
When we meet next week I want to see material progress since the draft you made during the last session.

general tips:
'''After Lunch'''


Work on proposal and discuss it with tutors


1) '''Communication''' - Think of the reader. It is not safe to assume they have knowledge of what you are writing about. Even if they do have knowledge this needs to be contextualized.  Generally people appreciate clarity.
==26-October-2016==
'''Individual sessions with Steve or Marloes'''


2) '''Description''' - Remember to describe the '''texts''' you are citing (synopsis of relevant arguments) and the '''things''' you are discussing (your own work, the work of others).
Please add your name to a time slot --->


3) '''Citation''' - give appropriate acknowledgment of the text/work you are citing. Do not leave it to the end of the process to place citations, as your texts grow more complex and longer this becomes a tedious task so give citations as you go. Use the Harvard method.
  https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/Calendars:Networked_Media_Calendar/Networked_Media_Calendar/26-10-2016_-Event_1


4) '''Notation''' - always take notes and log your sources.  
Please add a link to your current thesis outline & 5 key texts here:
https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mw-mediadesign/index.php?title=Graduate_Seminar_2016-2017#Latest_draft_thesis


5) '''Identify and eliminate bad habits'''  as you go - this saves time. Examples: its/it's / i/I
Please add a link to your latest project proposal here:
https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mw-mediadesign/index.php?title=Graduate_Seminar_2016-2017#Latest_draft_project_proposal
