Final blog post revisions – points vary – due Thursday 12\/14 at 10:00am<\/strong>
\nAll final revisions on blog posts, including your Showcase blog post, are due by 10:00am sharp on 12\/14. After that time you will not have access to WordPress and I will start grading your final revisions.<\/p>\n

Anonymous surveys – 6 points – due by Thursday 12\/14<\/strong>
\nLater this week I’ll create some class surveys so I can learn from your experiences in this course. Although they will be anonymous I will have a way for you to record your name in a separate file for up to 6 bonus points.\u00a0I WILL SEND YOU EMAIL when the surveys are ready, so please watch your email.<\/p>\n

Showcase blog post – 6 points – due by Thursday 12\/14<\/strong>
\nWrite a short blog post about the showcase event, with an actual photo from the event as your Featured Image, and photos and\/or video of your part of the showcase. For bonus points, also include photos and\/or video of another group’s part of the showcase! Consider this post a recap of your presentation and the overall event, for people that might not have had a chance to come to the showcase. This is a group assignment for each presentation group.<\/p>\n

FINAL PRESENTATIONS – 10 pts – On Thursday 12\/7 in Roop Hall<\/strong>
\nClass on Thursday 12\/7 will be in Roop 103, across the quad from our usual building. Please arrive on time at 9:30, or earlier, if possible. It is your responsibility to bring all models, signs, and props with you. This assignment cannot be made up, so be there!<\/p>\n

Final prints and presentation props – 3 pts – Due Tuesday 12\/5 at start of class<\/strong><\/span>
\n Complete and bring in any signs, mathematical displays, prints, or other props you will need for Thursday’s presentation. I will walk around to each group and do a check for 3 points, and also be a pratice “audience” for your group. (You’ll also get a second chance to bring in any objects you forgot to bring in last time.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Bring in 3D prints – 3 pts – Due Thursday 11\/30 at start of class<\/strong><\/span>
\n Please bring in all 3D printed models from the First Fractal<\/a>, Tinkercad Fractal<\/a>, and Carpet Fractal<\/a>\u00a0projects so that the groups presenting those models can start figuring out what they have to work with. There will be a for-points quiz to record that you have brought your models. Your models will be returned to you after the Showcase.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finish Fractal Carpet post – 4 pts – Due Thursday 11\/30 before class<\/strong><\/span>
\n Complete your individual Fractal Carpet post. A total of up to 16 points will be awarded for this project according to the Rubric that was handed out in class.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fractal Carpet dimension – 3 pts – Due Tuesday 11\/28 before class<\/strong><\/span>
\n Add a section to your blog post about dimension, calculating the dimension of your Fractal Carpet and explaining that calculation clearly. Remember that pictures and illustrations can help a lot with your explanation. Just writing down the calculation with no words is not an explanation; imagine you are seeing this in a book for a first time and want there to be enough on the page to make you understand what is going on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fractal Carpet math – 6 pts – Next draft due Thursday 11\/16 before class
\n<\/strong>Two things, each worth 3 points: First, revise the writeup of your Level 1, 2, and 3 surface area calculations to make sure that you have clearly explained your work. Pictures and handwritten calculations can help a lot here. Second, add a section to calculate the surface area of the “infinite” level of your Fractal Carpet, using the formula for calculating the sum of an infinite geometric series. Again, be sure that you explain your calculations in the writeup for this section.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fractal Carpet blog post – 3 pts – Due Tuesday 11\/14 before class
\n<\/strong>Print the remaining levels of your Fractal Carpet so that you have levels 1, 2, and 3 in the 100mm size, and then create an individual blog post about your Fractal Carpet design. Remember this is not a group project; each of you should have your own design, prints, and post. Here are the requirements for the post so far:<\/span><\/p>\n
