Students will receive points for three different activities during the semester: article presentation, game design and implementation, and song design and implementation. The average score from these three activities will be given as a "class participation" score. NOTE 1: Assignment titles will be created via Teams for all three activities. Each assignment must be submitted as a "Word file". Students preparing the activities as a group will all submit their assignments individually.
