INTD 133 – Class Project

This is common class project for all INTD 133 sections. The Goal of the project is a creative production describing the transition to college in 2011, specifically to Oneonta State. This project should be reflective of your initial experiences here. You are free to brainstorm and use your combined expertise and creativity to create this project. The following are some common guidelines sections should follow.

Projects will be displayed as poster type presentations that should be able to ‘stand alone’ for display purposes (can be poster or digital format). People will be able to walk around and look at the projects rather than formal presentations.

Suggestions for approaching project:

Spend a little class time each meeting to check on progress. We really only have six to eight weeks to complete this.

Tasks could focus on the following:

- visuals, sound, content, production, research

Describe the who, what, when, where and why:

Who: describe Oneonta State and the Freshmen class of 2011. Potential resources would be talking with admissions about class profile, RA’s and upper class leaders, peers, administrators, faculty, etc.

What: What does making a transition mean? What other transitions have you as a group/cohort already made? What makes this one different?

When: The first 6-8 weeks of their experience here – maybe even their decisions during high school to attend Oneonta State.

Where: Oneonta – campus environments – resident halls, sport fields, labs, classroom buildings, administrative buildings, union. Community environment – small city atmosphere

Why: To create a message or voice of new students. Remind everyone what the experience is like, to share with students, faculty, and staff. Hopefully, this could create a memory for the group.
