Students may submit their final project in a format approved ahead of time (if a format not listed here) by the instructor, a format that may range from a narrative response in a document, a website, presentation, blog, or video presentation, but the project proposal and component parts completed during the semester will be written, and evaluated using the AAC&U VALUE rubric for written communication (https://www.aacu.org/value/rubrics/written-communication (Links to an external site.)).
