Introduction

During the course of the year, you will be judged on different facets, either through formative or summative assessments. These will demonstrate your mastery of the course learning objectives.

Formative assessment will help you achieve intended learning outcomes and prepare for summative assessments.

This section lists different activities that you can do with your team or individually. They are intended for formative assessment purposes, and you can pick the ones that are relevant to your project. Feel free to email your instruction team to receive early feedback.

Note

If you or your project partner have other ideas of what could be good activities for your project, ping the instructors with the proposed activity name and description.

Typical summative assignments are project presentations and demonstrations, project documentation and reflection. For each of these assignments, you’ll have to complete a choice of activities. For more information, check the summative assignments or refer to the assignments in Canvas.

The YC Startup School Curriculum

Startup School is a free online course on how to start a startup, by the world’s top startup accelerator: Y Combinator.

It did not fit in any specific category because it touches on many different aspects of building a product and creating a company, so we’ve decided to list it here!

This activity is useful both as a career skill-building tool and as a way to succeed with your New Product or Game project!

If you are interested in commercializing your project, consider joining an startup accelerator program. OSU has one. Other famous ones include Station F in Paris (France) and Y Combinator in the San Francisco Bay Area.
