Reading Assignments
 

Readings will be required through the semester, giving students critical insight into the creative process.

Each week, two to four students will be assigned to present a topic about research, analysis and synthesis in the assigned reading material. Make your presentation as engaging and informative as possible, by including supplemental information, such as case studies. The presentation should be about 5 to 10 minutes.
