Odegaard Writing & Research Center

This is place to come and chat with peer tutors and librarians, to grow as a writer in the context of whatever project is foremost in your mind. We can’t magically ‘fix’ papers for you (it wouldn’t even really help you long-term if we could), but we can ask all kinds of smart questions and talk with you in order to help you with: Understanding your assignment – What’s expected of you? What’s going on in this writing situation? Researching – Where can you find appropriate academic resources for your paper? How can you identify useful and credible sources? Brainstorming – What directions might your writing take? Outlining – How might you shape or organize your ideas? Drafting – How can you develop your ideas and connect your thoughts in a coherent flow? Revising – How can you re-see and reconsider your large and small scale writing choices to make the writing more effective?

DXARTS 200

The future of art has always been a matter of critical concern, as the role of the artist within society shifts and aesthetic sensibilities become transformed. This course analyses examples from art, science, technology, sociology and philosophy in order to provide students with the means to establish their own vision of what digital media can become, from both a practical and a theoretical perspective. It focuses upon the methodologies and ideologies that underpin our current understanding of digital art, approaching it as a multi-dimensional array of related possibilities. Students are asked to use this grounding as a stimulus to speculate about new, emerging art forms, and in the process take their first step towards inventing the boundaries of future art practice.
