Interim Group Project Report

The groups are well established by now and you know what you want to study, but you might not yet have clarity about some of the techniques or about the history of a particular technique. Enter the "interim project report"!

By the end of Spring Break, your group will prepare a status report on the project. The status report should be brief (2 pages) and contain the following parts:

1. Complete description of the digital artifact and the hacking technique involved; (100 points)

2. Preliminary analysis of context in which the digital artifact was applied; (50 points)

3. Rehearse a conclusion about the ethical implications of the hack. (50 points)

The goal of this report is to obtain feedback from the instructors: we (the instructors) will read and comment on the reports in order to help you address any difficulty you may have encountered (technical, anthropological, historical, it does not matter, we are here to help). Use this time and opportunity to express any challenge the group may have encountered (or any new research direction you might want to take). We want to make sure you on the right track.

Assign one person in your group to be a Scribe. The role of the scribe is to manage the assembly and delivery of each project deliverable. To turn in a deliverable, the scribe needs to place it in their Google Drive folder for this class. For this first deliverable, the Scribe should contact Ellen (ejoyce3@nd.edu) to let her know which Google Drive folder to look at to collect your group’s deliverables.

The interim report is due on March 26, 2024 by 5pm.
