Brief

You will write one substantive critique for two different students in class (two comments in total). These comments will be made on their project’s Google Slide. See instructions below for more details.

You will write comments for the two students above you in the Slides. Take this list of students on the slides for example:

• Sample Student
• Applebroog, Ida
• Eitzel, Mark
• Finn, Neil
• Rojas, Claire
• Sherman, Cindy
• Tiravanija, Rirkrit
• Vives, Carlos

If you are Claire Rojas, you would critique one work by Neil Finn and one work by Mark Eitzel. If Mark didn’t submit anything for the assignment, then go up to the next student: Ida Applebroog. If Ida also didn’t submit an assignment, then you would skip the Sample Student (obviously), and loop around to the end of thee list and critique a work by Carlos Vives. If you were Ida Applebroog, you would critique work from Carlos Vives and Rirkrit Tiravanija.

After the critiques are completed, you will need to then write your reflections on your work, summarizing key observations by your classmates, and have those submitted by Friday each week. Since you will need to address the areas of the D.I.E. method in your reflection, make sure you try include those areas in your critiques.
