Students have the option of working in groups for Assignments 2-4 and the Final Project. Working in a group can be fun and productive and should enable the participants to take their topic farther than an individual. Students should also consider the time required to coordinate their activities and potential complications of group work. A majority of students in previous classes have had a good experience working in groups.
The maximum group size is three. For those that choose to work in a group, it is essential to come to a clear understanding within the group how the work will be shared. There is an additional class requirement for those that work in a group: each group must submit a statement that describes the contribution of each member of the group.

I submitted a proposal to write about the issues surrounding content creators on Youtube. I am focusing on non-professional inventors in part because I invented a product but more to the point of this class I think they pose a unique issue -- product liability for the content of their videos. If anyone has follow the Mtv show Jackass, you'll know they got into a lot of hot water for performing stunts that had the potential to be very dangerous. In the show that acted as it the stunts were spontaneous and without aid of special effects. Kids started trying them at home and getting seriously injured. One of the questions I'd like to explore is the liability to Youtube and the channel owner if a video depicts a product as being safe when it is reality very dangerous?
There are other issues related to this class that can also be explored in depth.
If someone is interested in partnering, I am open to having a discussion.
