ICAM 160B – Senior Projects

Spring 2018 – CPMC 268

Instructor: Tom Erbe – tre@ucsd.edu

In this class we will refine your senior project ideas from 160A and work on the realization, presentation and documentation of these projects. We will have one critique in the middle of the quarter, and a final meeting in 10th week prior to the “Best of ICAM” show. Presentation in “Best of ICAM” is required to pass this class.

As about half of the students are working on publishing music, and the other half are working on pieces involving creative technology, we will alternate meeting in these groups from week 2 to week 9. Week 1 and week 10 will be for the entire class.
