Just a quick note on your portfolio, the only things
you really have to have in your portfolio are the things
listed below in the "In your Portfolio" column,
that said, I would like it if you wanted to include exercises
we do in class, notes from the class, or assignments you
do elsewhere where you use techniques learned in this
class, or interesting articles or papers you read about
the topics, but it's up to you.
The portfolio is collected on the last week, and it is
the key examinable item for the class, so I won't be able
to return them back to you, so please take copies of stuff
you want to keep.
Also, I very much welcome feedback on the
module, so please send me an e-mail whenever you like about the
course, about anything at all, stuff you liked, stuff you didn't,
things you'd like me to do in the coming weeks, or just a general
chat. Just subject heading "Problem Solving feedback" to Damian.Gordon@dit.ie
Pick someone you think is creative, it can be an artist,
painter, scientist, businessperson, etc. (real or fictional)
and print out a picture of them, and write their name
above it, and your name below it. Please bring this
in for next week.
Create a timeline of at least 7 significant events
that occured in your chosen person's life (or even event's after
they died, e.g. a university or a road got named after them, etc.)
Each year will have at least 20 words after it.
