There are no textbooks for this class.

This course is for students doing UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program), who are pursuing research projects at the Media Laboratory. We will discuss the areas of research going on in the media lab as well as topics associated with all research: documenting progress, ethical issues, intellectual property issues (like copyright and patents), and giving oral, written, and online presentations of results. A final oral presentation is required. Enrollment limited with preference given to students in the Media Arts and Sciences freshman program.
