Overview

Creating Digital History has a lot of goals, and in order to give you hands on experience creating and writing historical content there will be a number of projects throughout the semester. To keep them straight, here is the master chart.

Your grade will be reduced if you hand work in late without permission. It is especially important to have collaborative work done on time so that it does not affect your classmates.
