Revision opportunity details
2010
As I have explained in class, you have two remaining opportunities to raise your grade:
- Web 2.0 research project: revise posts 3 and/or 4 of the annotated bibliography portion of the project
- Independent project revision: revise either the copyright paper, or the personal website, or the sound project
Below are the details you need for each opportunity.
Web 2.0 research project
Revisions must be posted by the start of class, Tuesday, December 7
You will receive your annotation comments via email and at that time can decide whether or not to revise one or both of the annotations (you may revise annotations 3 and/or 4). If you think it will take you more than an hour to revise an annotation, it may not be a good use of your time. Look carefully at your grade on the project and do the necessary math to see if revising will significantly raise your grade.
If you decide to revise, you must do the following:
- print out the annotation(s) before you revise and give them to me in class Tuesday. I must have the original annotation in order to evaluate your revision.
- revise your annotation post(s) by the deadline above using my comments as a guide. I am happy to answer any questions you have and read revision drafts if you send them to me by the end of the day Sunday.
Independent project revision
Revisions must be submitted by 5:00 pm Wednesday, December 15 (you may submit your revision early if you wish)
No matter which project you are revising, you must schedule a meeting with me to discuss your revisions during the last week of class. I have a meeting sign-up sheet available in class this week. Below are details for revising each project.
The copyright paper: you must turn in your original paper with my comments along with your revised paper. Both must be submitted in hard copy. I will be in my office Wednesday, December 15 from noon to 5:00 to collect revisions.
The personal website: You must have all your revisions uploaded to the server by the deadline. You must also submit a list of exactly what you have changed on each page of your site so I know what I am reevaluating. When listing your changes, you must provide a brief (1-3 sentence) explanation of why you made the change. Some changes will be obvious (fixing typos and items that did not load or display correctly) but other changes (changing a color palette or menu structure) will require explanation that refers back to your design plan (audience, purpose, and context). Your revision explanation document must be submitted in hard copy. I will be in my office Wednesday, December 15 from noon to 5:00 to collect these.
The sound project: You must have your revised audio uploaded to your personal website by the deadline. You must also turn in a copy of the original audio. I should be able to download your original audio from your website at our revision meeting, but if I cannot you must provide me with the original mp3 by the revision deadline. You must also submit a written document (up to one page) detailing the changes you made and why. This document must be submitted in hard copy. I will be in my office Wednesday, December 15 from noon to 5:00 to collect these documents.
