The Process Journal is a critical part of your evaluation in this course.  It is a tool to help you envision, plan and complete your assignments AND store valuable information.  Use your journal to record your research, keep your rough notes, draw and sketch up plans and ask tough questions about your own work. 
 
There are small assignments that will be completed in this journal to at certain intervals.  Completing these will help you to complete your larger assignments, one piece at a time, rather than the week before.
 
Each assignment should be given a dedicated section of your journal. You can use the indexes of this website to help you organize this journal.  
 
As you complete projects, take notes or finish assignments, use the journal as you own personal textbook.

  • Organization            /15
  • Communication        /10
  • Creativity                  /10
