1. Readings - Qualifying exam materials
Overview:
In this class, I worked on preparing my qualifying exam with seven readings. Every week, I read one article (or multiple), left some small notes about important parts of the readings, and had discussion based on my tentative thesis topic, 'Body Pattern Sonification for Interactive Art Installation'
