FINAL PAPERS DETAILS

The theme of the final paper is to write about your final project. Whether it be an App or application, you should detail what your app does, why you built it, what apps like it exist already and how your app differs from them, and . The final should be a written paper up to 1000 words posted on the blog and on Blackboard.

All final papers should be at least 1000 words and posted on the class website due a week after the last day of class.
