Q: How will I know if my submission is "good"?

 

I'll answer the above question with a few questions of my own:

​

• Does your text demonstrate an understanding of and engagement with experience architecture and rhetorical theory as they relate to digital writing landscapes?

• Does your text display a practical application of efficient web-based writing as articulated in Letting Go of the Words and Don't Make Me Think? 

• Does your text demonstrate both a strategic and tactical understanding of user experience? 

• Can you explain and defend the choices—both content and design—you've made in your text if you were pressed on them?

• Did you fulfill all of the minimum project requirements? 

 

If you can answer all of the above questions in the affirmative and point to places where your web-text accomplishes these things, then you have a "good" writing project two. 

​

Q: What are you (the instructor) "looking for" in this project? 

​

Each of your writing projects will look different; so what I'm looking for is an engagement with the course material. 

​

Q: How long does my project have to be? 

​

Your writing project will be as "long" as it needs to be in order to accomplish the rhetorical and intellectual work that the assignment asks you to. Although I will say, since you are not writing a linear text here, "length" is a somewhat misleading term. 

​

Q: Will you look at my project before it's due and help me develop it? 

​

YES! Of course. All you need to do is contact me and set up a meeting. I am here to help you succeed.
