LA 255 Final Project Description and Instructions
Overview
The Final Project is due by the close of Module 14, and comprises 15 percent of your course
grade. Your instructor may or may not accept late work for a reduced grade.
The Final Project is a stand-alone paper that you create, submit to Turnitin.com, and then post in
the assignment topic by the due date. By “stand-alone” we mean that it is a complete product and
equires no extra explanation. In other words, your assignment should not be a slideshow
presentation that that you might use in support of a live presentation.
Regardless of the subject, your Final Project should be in the format of an academic paper
describing some research you undertook or a project that you completed on your own. Your file
needs to be in .doc or .pdf format.
Turnitin.com
Instructors are not allowed to grade your assignment until you have submitted it to Turnitin.com.
By now you should have a Turnitin.com account and have used it in this course in submitting
your essays. However, there will be a topic dedicated to using Tu
nitin.com for the Final Project
in Module 14.
Subject
Choose a subject and project that furthers your understanding or skills in your major, or
addresses your career goals. Some students will choose to complete a digital media-based
project. In this case the digital product should be submitted, but still accompanied by an
academic paper describing what you did and meeting all of the requirements described in the
grading ru
ic. Alternatively, screen shots of digital work may be integrated into the text of your
paper. Many practical projects can be documented with text and original images, whether
photographs or computer-generated images. While images and graphics do not increase the page
count of the paper, original images and graphics are one of the criteria on the grading ru
ic..
Of course, the central focus of the work should be quantitative and demonstrate the concepts and
skills covered in this course. Quantitative literacy is often complex reasoning with simple math
and graphics, involving the use of numbers in descriptions, analyses, organizing and analyzing
data or works that have some quantitative component.
Tips
Start with an Introduction section. Explain what you did and why. Write your assignment to a
general audience, who may or may not know much about the subject you chose. Particularly if
you do some kind of practical project, include a section that explains the basic elements
involved before launching into the project itself.
Critical thinking, creativity, the generation of original material (text, photos, graphics, computer-
generated or physical media of any kind), and the accuracy and clarity of quantitative
communication are the most highly valued elements for this project. Regardless of your major,
these skills are a contributing factor in navigating and succeeding in our highly digital and
information-based world. Ideally, you will develops knowledge and skills in your major. This
assignment could be the basic math and quantitative aspects to some project you are developing
for your portfolio. See if you can get some guidance from instructors teaching courses in your
major.
Original charts, graphs, and images are valued in grading this assignment, but art skills are not a
grading criterion. This is a Liberal Arts course, not a studio course. Your original images or
graphs will be evaluated on their effectiveness in conveying quantitative information.
Cite your images, even when they are your own. You can do this simply by creating a caption
elow the image with your name and the year.

1 My subject is based on a home studio set. I chose this topic as my final subject because I am majoring in Music, so when it comes to the costs and numbers, there must be connections between my major and math.
2 Materials that I have collected are the accessories that I need for the home studio. For example, the audio interface(Focusrite Scarlett), $99.99.
3 For the part of putting everything together, it is almost done but needs to be organized.
