The Experimental College, commonly known as the ExCollege, is introducing eXpo, the first-ever exhibit of student's final projects from ExCollege courses.
The 40-plus projects that will be on display are drawn from nine of the 35 courses the ExCollege offered this spring semester.
"ExCollege courses are [usually] here for a semester, and after that they're off and not taaught again," ExCollege Program Assistant George Rausch (LA '05)said. "This is a nice way to showcase the final projects and also the quality [of] visiting lecturers that we have."
Both students and professors will be present to explain projects and answer questions.
"There will be a lot of milling around," Rausch said. "There will be painting, music, sculpture [and] video."
He said that students from the computer science course "Introduction to Game Development" will "demonstrate a few of the games that they created."
He also said that Lecturer James Jabbour, who teaches the "very popular" "Forensic Science and Criminal Investigation" course, hinted that his class's demonstration might include a fake body or crime scene.
Associate ExCollege Director Howard Woolf , who teaches "Making Movies," "will have a clips reel of a lot of the student films that were produced over the past year," Rausch said.
Other courses from which projects are drawn include "Media Literacy and Social Change," "Practice of Creativity, Art/Politics: An Insider's View of the Czech 'Velvet Revolution,'"and "The Politics of Photography."
Three of the courses represented are taught by Tufts faculty, but the rest are taught by visiting lecturers.
Rausch said that the courses represented in the exhibit were chosen because the projects were highly visual and because students in those classes expressed an interest in presenting their projects.
The event will be held May 8 at 6:30 p.m. on the entire first floor of Miner Hall.
