Today’s Plan:
- Memos, Final PLP Report
- Arc Charities Group Confirmation
- Homework
Job Memos, Final Job Report
We are nearing the completion of the project two, the Personal Learning Project. I’d like you to compose a brief report that contains the following sections:
- Summary (800 characters)
- Gantt Chart Review (include the gantt chart and 800 characters on how it went)
- Deliverables (1000 characters, Provide some description, what went right and what you’d change/do next)
- Tutorial Evaluation (800 characters)
I’ve included character counts because the goal for this assignment is concision. You have to make the prose very tight without making it feel stilted. This is harder than it sounds.
This will be a hypertext document. Include links to tutorials, social media accounts, or wordpress sites as required. Insert screenshots of deliverables as needed.
This project is due Monday, March 4th. I am concerned as to the low amount of job memos I have received. Many of you are not failing to keep up with the reading assignments. This course is designed as more of a workshop: if you simply turn in all the projects on time, then you are really likely to get an A. Last semester 10 out of 13 students got an A. This semester, only 9 out of 20 students are on that pace. Get those memo updates to me. And, for the love of pizza, turn in the fracking PLP report on time.
Arc Charities Group Confirmation
I’m waiting on materials from Amelia–I don’t have confirmation yet on the interviews for the Organizational History. And I don’t want to jump too deep into this project until next week.
But I do want to confirm team placement. I know a few people had mentioned switching teams. Here’s where we stand:
- Families in Action [Grant Research and Writing]
- Colorado Gives [Promotion, Documentation for Social Media]
- Organizational History [Interviews, Synthesis, Archiving]
Williams and Bizup Refresher
I wanted to review the Williams and Bizup approach to sentence syntax because the next project emphasizes concision.
Homework
Obviously, work on your PLP–both the project, deliverables, memos, and report.
For next Wednesday, March 6th, read Kramer and Bernhardt (1996) “Teaching Text Design.”
