Results - Project Awards

Before I share the results of the ballots, let me again tell you all how proud I was last night to hear you share your work with others. I've tried to instill in you that in our class you aren't just writing for me--your peers and the larger world make up your audience. I know many aspects of this course (e.g., this blog, our research exhibition, etc.) might have challenged you to leave your comfort zone, but I hope you these aspects also supported you in your intellectual and personal development. We have challenge ourselves to develop. 

And hopefully this development won't end with this class. Just the other day, while watching "The LEGO Movie", I found myself thinking of Frye's formal cause and I have no doubt I will continue to find connections to this class in the future. My hope is you will, too. 

Now, onto the results! 

I am pleased to say that every project received an impressive number of votes on one category or another, and for that you should all be proud. 

AND THE WINNERS ARE...

• Most Interesting Project = "The Misanthrope Social Network Experience" by Erin Ekart and Christian Grodin (15 Votes)
• Most Sophisticated Project = "Is Laughter the Best Medicine?" by Zach Arnold and Danielle Sexton (13 Votes)
• Most Attractive Poster = "Clue: Beaver Coat Edition" by Emily Humphreys and Emily Reed (16 Votes)

Congratulations to the winners and to all who shared their creative ideas this whole semester! Each winning team earned 2 extra points (mathematically, .2 in the grade-book calculations) on their poster session grade. 

I hope you all have a fun, safe, productive summer!
