- Class Outlines and Assignments
A big part of learning at ITP is learning from each other. So share your work and in exchange you'll get to see everyone else's!
- Practice by completing the weekly worksheet.
- Do the assignment.
- Contribute a question.
- Post blog documentation: Ideally something visual, some written thoughts, and code. If you are struggling with your sketch and can't get things to work, put your energy into writing about what didn't work and what you did to try to solve it.
Assignments are due the day before class each week. Tentative work is preferred over work that is turned in late.
There are worksheets (linked below) to practice the concepts introduced in this course. You are expected to add links to your p5 sketches directly in these documents. Log in to your NYU account to access them.
To submit all other assignments (i.e. your blog posts or other documentation), use this homework form.
Here is the spreadsheet with everyone's responses.
If you find yourself struggling, there are many forms of support at ITP:
- Look out for the residents' office hours and help sessions.
- Visit The Coding Lab, a walk-up (and virtual) help desk for NYU students to get help with their code from ITP student mentors.
- Post a question in the ITP Discourse in the icm category, tagged with our section icm002. Think of Discourse as an asynchronous Q&A forum for peer support for solving technical issues and trouble-shooting, as well as for archiving discussions long-term. As more questions accumulate over time, it will become a useful technical support resource for everyone. Feel free to answer other students' questions, too!
- Post a question in the ITP/IMA Discord HELP-ITP #icm channel. Think of Discord as chat. It’s a platform designed for synchronous connections and community messaging. If you need a question answered in real-time, consider posting here to chat with another student or resident who is currently online.
- Need help asking a question?

RESOURCES FROM CLASS:
-
DO:
- Work in pairs. Due next week. Create a 30-60s sound composition. No visuals. Just sound.

- Random Ideas
- Record bits of spoken word and loop them to create music. See SoundRecorder() Looper
- Use sound samples and manipulate their playback rate() to control pitch instead of the oscillator.
- Try implementing a different scale with different pitch ratios: More about scales.
- Play with Timbre and make use of p5 Sound's post-processing features: Delay, Filter, Reverb, Convolver etc.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
-
DO:
- Complete this Worksheet
- Start gathering questions, code samples and source material (images, sounds, colors, text) for your final project.
- RESOURCES FROM CLASS:
- DO:
- Your final project! You can take something you did earlier this semester and expand it. You can scratch a new itch. You can make a Frankenstein project by combining earlier code. Remember it is still a 1-week assignment.
- Prepare a 5 minute presentation to demonstrate what your project does that emphasizes its computational aspects.
- If your project is interactive, please be prepared to have someone else in the class interact with it to demo.
- If your project can only be demo'd outside of class, please show a short video (~2 minutes) of the experience.
- Post documentation in the form of a blog post. Ideally something visual, some written thoughts, and code. How do you feel about WHY you want to use code in your work now compared with the beginning of the semester? If you are struggling with your sketch and can't get things to work, you should feel free to put your energy into writing about what didn't work (and vent any frustrations!). If it is a collaboration, please describe your contribution to the project.
