While I feel well positioned at my progress on the subject paper, I'm definitely wrestling on putting in the correct context and bringing something fresh to the table . . . . Definitely don't want this to be a last minute thing . . . Curious how others in the class are feeling.
I'm having a really tough time... I guess I am institutionalized a bit from my military experience- tell me exactly what you want, and I will provide exactly that! My evaluation course is more like that in that the instructor basically gave us an outline for our final paper. Makes it easier, but doesn't allow for much deviation or creativity in response.
ReplyDeleteMy own judgment of my Web 2.0 Community Paper? Awful.. I don't feel like I successfully jelled my thoughts on it, and feel really uncomfortable out in the wind wondering what it is exactly Prof D would like to read. I found myself wandering more into the sociology of the two sites than technical 2.0 stuff, but I am continually surprised that this course is less of a "how to" web 2.0 than a study on how it all works together. The "why" if you will. Which is good. I was glad to see that we weren't expected to create programming or other such things, and am glad to be able to learn more about the concept than to dissect the nuts and bolts of getting sites to work.
Ah, but it is not about what I would like to read (replying to Brust here)! If it were, you would have been given a template. There's a high tolerance for difference here, and so long as you're on topic (and the sociology of the sites sounds on topic!) you're fine.
ReplyDeleteProgramming the sites isn't so interesting, IMHO. More important is what we do with them, and people manage to transcend programming limitations and designs all the time.
