Code as a Liberal Art, Spring 2022

Unit 3, Project

Due dates:

Friday, May 6: Miro planning board / sitemap with notes.

[NEW] Friday, May 13, 8pm: Website completed and uploaded to Google Drive

Monday, May 16: For in-class project presentations.

Weds, May 18, 8pm: Final paper.

As the culminating work for our semester you will author a final paper, and use hypermedia tools to plan the paper and present a multimedia version of it that is a networked, nonlinear document with multimedia integrated.

For your final paper, select one of the below two questions to address:

• Should a liberal arts student learn to code? If so, when, why, and in what circumstances; if not, why not.
• Do algorithms contribute to a more just world? If so, when, why, and in what circumstances; if not, why not.

You should reference three to five texts from the semester, from at least two units. Length should be 750-1250 words or about the length of 4 reading responses.

Start by creating a new Miro board for planning. (I recommend the Mind Map option but you can use a Sitemap or any other format that you wish.) Use this to organize your notes and commentary from the readings. Organize this also so that it becomes a sitemap planning tool.

For your technical work you will create a website with at least five hand-coded HTML pages that also include CSS and Javascript components. I will share formal/technical requirements in the coming days. Some of them will include: a CSS layout that is consistent (more or less) across your pages, a "hamburger menu" (not "hanburger"), and at least one multimedia object on each page.
