Deliverables for Wednesday, March 26

Attached please find the individual deliverables due on Wednesday. These are also attached to the Week 11 calendar. Please let your instructor know if you have any questions or problems.

Thank you.

Week 12 Posting Report

Hi everyone-

Because of spring break, and the limited number of reading responses during the course of the white paper, you will not be required to submit a Week 8 posting report. However, your Week 16 report should include all posts made from Week 8 forward (including all Workblogs). We will include a Week 16 report form as we get closer to the end of the semester.

Thanks, and let us know if you have any questions.

White Papers: Audience and Purpose

Hi everyone-

Having reviewed all the White Paper topics, I'm excited to see these in process. The next steps are to think about audience and purpose, and how best to shape our documents rhetorically thereto. Be sure to revisit the calendar for Friday and for next week, as there have been some changes to the assignments. We will ask you to think about the purpose of your document, and your ideal audience, and explain how you plan to approach your content and design.

Spring Break

Please note the revised schedule on calendar Weeks 10-12.

The White Paper first drafts will be due the Monday following Spring Break (3/17), rather than on Monday 3/10 as originally scheduled.

Check for further updates to the schedule calendar as we approach these due dates.

Group Topic Proposals

I have reviewed the group project proposals and, in general, they look interesting, engaging, and viable for the purposes of this assignment. Rebecca or myself will be contacting each group with feedback later this week (after we complete the evaluation of your Employment Projects).

In the meantime, if you don't hear from one of us, presume that your topics are workable and that it is okay to continue research and drafting your projects. If either of us has an issue with your potential topic, we will let you know directly.

Revised Week 8 Posting Report

Attached, please find the updated Week 8 Posting Report. Any additional posts can be added below the categories listed as needed.

Please let your instructor know if you have any questions.

Thank you-
