Daily Message Sept. 10

Good Day,

I see that I'm starting to get revised Analytical Memos in the Assignment Dropbox. Remember that you can take until 6 p.m.(ish) on Saturday to submit your revised draft for the optional instructor review. Just submit your draft through the link the Module 1 Analytic Memo on the Assignment dropbox. (Submit your original and revised drafts as separate documents.) Also, to participate in the optional instructor review you must have submitted your peer review drafts on time, provided feedback to your peer partners  (unless no one else in your group posted a draft), and revised your memo. I'll get feedback on your drafts back to you by the beginning of the day on Monday.

You should have started Module 2. I want to emphasize your understanding the taxonomy for visual vocabulary. I expect you to be able to use the concepts explained in this chapter throughout the course and use the language when you perform the various analyses that you will be asked to do in the exercises and the projects.

You will also want to familiarize yourself with his matrix. And while you may not use it in all of its glory, it really is a marvelous tool for understanding documents (those you read and those you create) more fully and in more complex ways.

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know. I'll check in on class again later today to make sure there aren't any problems simmering before the weekend arrives. If there are problems, I'll address them on the discussion board in WebCampus. If not, I'll check in here again on Monday.

Have a great weekend!

Julie
