Q FMM 208: Final Project Guidelines and Grading Guide Overview The final project for this course is the creation of presentation tracing a garment over time. The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency as students will demonstrate recognition for various garments worn during each costume period, including basic terminology, analyzing important historical impacts on the garment as well as its development over time and what traces are present in today’s fashions. The project is divided into four milestones, which will be submitted in Modules Three, Four, Six, and the final product Module Seven.
