This is the final week of the course. As you compile your portfolio and write your reflection, take stock of what you’ve learned about teaching, about AI, and about yourself as an educator. The readings this week look forward — at the future of education in a world shaped by AI.
Assignments
- Final Portfolio & Reflection (160 points) — A portfolio of your course materials built with Claude Code and deployed to GitHub Pages, submitted with a 750-1000 word reflection. Due August 1.
Final Portfolio Guidelines
Your final portfolio is an opportunity to try out the Claude Code (Web, Desktop, or CLI) workflows we’ve explored in the workshops towards a specific goal. Take your completed syllabus, teaching statement, signature assignment, and anything else you’ve created this semester that you are happy with, and put them in a new GitHub repository. Offer specific guidance on style (fonts, colors, aesthetic choices) as well as structure, using planning mode to control the results as much as possible. Share a link to your portfolio on GitHub Pages along with your short reflection on the process and how this experience has changed (or not changed!) how you think about the relationship of AI and pedagogy. Don’t worry about getting the portfolio perfect, as we’ll be primarily grading your reflection and process.
Submit your 750-1000 word reflection and the portfolio link in a document. This should include:
- A working portfolio link (50 points) — Successfully deploying your portfolio to GitHub Pages demonstrates that you are comfortable with the agentic workflow. This will be graded on completion, not aesthetics, but it is a great opportunity to practice what we’ve learned.
- Reflections connected to the semester’s readings (50 points) — Cite at least three readings from throughout the semester, and note how the work you’ve encountered has shaped how you think about digital humanities pedagogy broadly.
- Discussion of your experience with AI (60 points) — Think back on the journey we’ve taken this semester, and share how your position on AI in the classroom or in your own work has shifted (or not) throughout the course.
No late work can be accepted on this assignment, as final grades are due very soon. If an emergency arises and you need to discuss an incomplete, please reach out to us immediately.
