Thursday, November 29

Each individual will

  • Load a well-developed version of their personal website to their GVSU web space.
  • Read 160-185 in Don't Make Me Think.
  • Post a reading response which reflects on the text in relation to your experience in this class and what you might imagine your experience could be on future web design projects.
  • Read Sullivan and Porter's "How do writers view usability information? A case study of a developing documentation writer" (see attachment).
  • Post a reading response in which you think about Max in the Sullivan and Porter reading and then discuss how, as a writer, your views on the reader/user are affirmed/changed by this class and our readings and discussion on usability. You might talk about this across a variety of writing contexts, not just writing for the web.

Class Meeting

  • Workshop on Personal Website.

Don't forget: Post a project log by midnight Friday night.
