Week 14 - April 7-13

Please note: Check-in sheet with comments for weeks 10-13 is due this week
on Wednesday, April 9th by midnight (see attachment at the bottom of this page). No comments are
required for the remainder of the semester unless otherwise specified on the calendar.

    Each group should:
  • Gather all required information from the client, including possible samples they may have,
    information about the client you may need, etc.
  • If possible, meet with the client personally to discuss the project. If this is not possible,
    be sure you have a sense of their exact needs and requirements for the project by early this
    week so that you can create a draft of your proposal.
  • Read p. 15 in your textbook on community problems and the proposal. Your group proposal
    should, in part, indicate how your project will help with a problem within the community and/or
    within the organization itself.
  • Email a draft of your client proposal to the instructor by Tuesday night, April
    8th, at midnight.
  • After receiving feedback on your proposal from the instructor by Wednesday, revise the
    proposal and send it to the client by Sunday night (CC the instructor).
  • Complete a brief Client Research Memo and email it to the instructor by Sunday night, April 13th, at
    midnight.    This memo should be in proper memo format and include all of the information
    you discovered about your client, information you received from them and that you researched on
    your own via the internet, newspapers, community information, etc.
  • Begin working on the project draft(s). Note that a first, but strong, draft of your
    material is due to the instructor on Tuesday, April 15th.
  • Instructor and client memos due by Sunday night.
      • Each individual should:
  • Read the following in your textbook: chapters 24 and 25, p. 557-588, on Using Visuals to
    Inform and Persuade and Graphic Design/Desktop Publishing.
  • Post a reading response to your individual weblog by Sunday night in which you discuss the
    readings and how they apply specifically to the project your group is working on currently.
  • Individual project logs need to be posted to your weblogs by Sunday night.
  • Read over Week 15's assignments and email your instructor with any questions.
