Hot Text is finally in
Pick up Hot Text in the bookstore, and read sections 1-5.
As part of your preparation for your newsletter, skim section III, and write a short (two-sentence) response to each section. Choose one or two sections that will best help you write 1) the kind of newsletter you want, and 2) the kind of individual project you want. Write a half-page reflection on each chapter. (You may blog this if you want, but please bring a printout to class.)
Dr. Jerz, I am kind of puzzled here.
When you say read sections 1-5, you *did* mean *chapters* 1-5, right? Or did you mean the *entire* textbook? Hopefully the former, because that's the impression that I got up until tonight when I was double-checking the assignments here.
Also, when you mention "skimming section III," does that mean chapter 3 or "part III" (as the book calls it)?
When you say write a half-page reflection on each chapter, do you mean the chapters in "part III," the one or two sections that we choose to relate to our newsletters/projects, or *all* of the chapters that we were supposed to read?
I can usually deduce what you mean on my own, but this has left me completely lost.
Posted by: Chris Ulicne at October 6, 2004 12:10 AMI'm with Chris on that one. I spent almost all night reading Hot Text and found nothing relevant to the response guidelines. Hot Text seems like more of a corperate handbook for web design. Where in the book were we to read?
Posted by: Evan Reynolds at October 6, 2004 10:05 AMI talked to Dr. Jerz after class today and asked him about it, he said that I was right. We were supposed to:
•Read chapters 1-5
•Skim part III, writing 2 sentences about each chapter
•Write a half-page reflection on the two chapters that we chose to relate to our individual and group projects
It was mostly the word "section" that had me confused, hehe.
