![Snapshot of former student Kristin Jakubek's project documentation, 2017](https://2472482582-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LzaCPWnWmmX17D0w0O3%2F-LzbKpDJdCx1WBKbT07-%2F-LzbLk9fSbal3xAbMvYa%2Floes_00_notes.png?alt=media\&token=2212f031-ee87-4561-ac00-f028e545ce31)

Each week, you are asked to document three areas, that should each include the points listed below:

**1.Maker skills & Attitude**: document all practical steps, tips, clever hacks and findings so others can follow and replicate your making process. 

* [ ] step-by-step making process (text + images)
* [ ] machine instructions and settings (text + images)
* [ ] design files and code (if applicable)

**2. Design research skills**: Make your decisionmaking and thinking explicit, so others can follow your thought process. Include:

* [ ] your considerations and decisionmaking every step of the way
* [ ] a reflection afterwards: what did you learn? What would you do differently next time? 
* [ ] describe how you negotiated stress, frustration and ambiguity

**3. Collaborative Learning:** Document relationship to other people’s work

* [ ] referencing the work, projects and tutorials of others
* [ ] \*all\* images (including your own) should have image captions with a full reference (name of the maker, name of the project/work, year, URL)
* [ ] give credit where credit’s due (mention everyone who helped you!)

**IMPORTANT NOTE ON FILENAMES!**

All files of **ALL** students will be stored in one file folder as this platform essentially is a collaboration tool. In order to keep some overview and make the files searchable. Name all your files like so: 

loes\_wk01\_manifesto.jpg\
loes\_wk02\_settings.png\
loes\_wk05\_finaldesignforprint.stl
