Hi Low Res Thesis People!
Itās been so wonderful meeting with you so far – I feel lucky to get to interface with such a brilliant group (and look forward to talking to the rest of you soon!)!
To keep us all on the same page, Iām planning on sending a weekly update. This is the first one! Please read these carefully – consider it *part of class* – itās also on the announcement tab of the blog.
Here we goā¦
Your starter bibliography is due 2/14Ā
Detailed info on the assignments will always be included on the syllabus.Ā
The basic idea: create a document (can be a google doc, arena board, notionā¦ whatever) with the initial references that make up the āworldā of your work: books, prior art, articles, films. This starting point is somewhere between a bibliography and a moodboard. For this one, aim for breadth! You will narrow it down with your proposal.Ā
Yuqian said it well in our 1-1: these are the seeds from which your project will grow.
Proposal Guidelines are ready! Proposal is due 2/26 (draft due 2/21)
Big news! The proposal guidelines are ready for you! We will talk about these in our next whole class meeting (on 2/21), but you should have made a basic attempt to answer these questions before class 2/21. If youāre feeling stuck or confused – reach out to me or a resident!
Thesis Journal – update after each meeting! Comment on each other!
As youāll see from the proposal guidelines – you donāt have to know exactly where youāre goingā¦ but you DO have to know what you did (by the end of this process). In that spirit, please make sure to make a short post on the thesis journal after eachĀ meeting (1-1, group, mentor, class) with a quick reflection: what were your thoughts, where are you at, what are your next steps? This short action will help you with the part of this course which aims to help you strengthen your process. I promise!
Tuesday Night BONUS peer sessions – RSVP
On weeks that we donāt have class, the class zoom room is open to anyone who wants to show up. Each week, at 8pm ET, a different resident will be there. If you plan to go, please RSVP yes on the google cal invite – so if no one plans to come, the host resident can take their time back!
First 1-1 Meeting
If weāve met, you can expect that Iāll be starting an email thread with you with some follow ups sometime within the week. If we havenāt yet met, please review the syllabus notes so you can come prepared.Ā
Personalized Assignments
Almost everyone Iāve met with has gotten slightly different assignments, but I have asked MOST of you to write some version of a Dream Review. This is cheesy and embarrassing but honestly REALLY worth it if you want to set yourself up to dream a big! How to do a dream review: pick a publication (one you hope one day to appear in), and pretend to be a writer for that publication. Write a short article or review about your thesis project (or body of work in general). This works best if you REALLY try to copy the tone and formatā¦ so you might want to read some reviews of creators who inspire you first!
I would LOVE for you to post all of your personalized assignments on the thesis journal. BUT – I understand if youād rather keep some private. Just be sure to share them with me (directly, or indirectly) in our next 1-1.Ā
PHEW!
Okay, that was a long one. Thanks for your attention, and donāt hesitate to reach out with questions!
š,Ā

Hello there, I think your blog may be havinhg web browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in I.E., it has
some ovelapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick
heads up! Aside from that, fantastic blog! https://Lvivforum.Pp.ua/
Thank you for your post. I really enjoyed reading it, especially because it addressed my issue. It helped me a lot and I hope it will also help others.
May I request more information on the subject? All of your articles are extremely useful to me. Thank you!
Thank you for writing this post!
Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an e-mail. I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.
Throughout the grand pattern of things you’ll get a B- just for effort. Where exactly you confused me ended up being on your facts. As it is said, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be much more accurate in this article. Having said that, permit me reveal to you exactly what did deliver the results. Your article (parts of it) is actually pretty convincing and that is possibly the reason why I am taking the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, whilst I can certainly see the leaps in reasoning you come up with, I am definitely not confident of how you seem to connect the points which inturn produce the conclusion. For right now I will, no doubt yield to your position but wish in the near future you connect your facts better.
I have seen plenty of useful things on your web site about computers. However, I have got the impression that netbooks are still more or less not powerful adequately to be a good choice if you generally do tasks that require a great deal of power, including video editing and enhancing. But for internet surfing, microsoft word processing, and majority of other common computer work they are okay, provided you may not mind the screen size. Thanks for sharing your thinking.
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Exceptional work!
