Student Work


This is the place where students can show off the work that they have completed back in the classroom and provide comments on what they learned.

This webpage will document the ongoing process of learning, with students actively involved in the process of documenting their work and providing feedback/evaluation on their learning experiences.

It will also serve as an archive of student work produced as a result of workshops at COCA.
