Week 9: Introducing Unit #3 and Unit #4

I thought your team presentations on Thursday were fascinating, and I hope you feel like you received useful feedback from your peers. At this point, it’s up to your team to choose which suggestions you will implement and which suggestions you will ignore, but most of you should be focused on fine-tuning, not overhauling, your identity package.

Unit #2 is due on Tuesday, which will clear the decks for us to start thinking about next two projects: the Document Makeover and the Electronic Portfolio. These projects will run in tandem for the remainder of the semester, and next week we will discuss the details for each assignment. Here’s a quick overview of how we’ll spend our time in class:

  • Your team will submit its Unit #2 project at the beginning of class on Tuesday. Please review the assignment sheet to make sure your team has created all of the required deliverables, and pay particular attention to the evaluation criteria, which I will use to grade your project. To submit your project, bring printed copies of your deliverables to class (these should look like they are ready to be handed to your client), and upload a zipped file containing your project folder (labeled with your client’s name) to my Dropbox before you come to class. (I will send out the password for my Dropbox via email.) There is no other homework for Tuesday — just focus on wrapping up Unit #2. In class, I will introduce our new electronic portfolio system, then we will create accounts for each of you and get your websites up and running.
  • On Thursday, I will introduce Unit #3, the Document Makeover project, and we will begin brainstorming ideas for that assignment. In preparation for our discussion, please read Chapter 4 in Document Design and bring your textbook to class.

If you have any questions about these items, please email me or stop by during my office hours (9-12) on Monday morning.
