The design plan and postmortem should be printed. The data map should be in its intended final format, as the Project 1 page states: "A student's data map may be delivered in a print, digital, or other format. The map's final format should be appropriate to the student's context, audience, and purpose." If your data map is digital, you will have to burn the file to a CD, or post it online and provide me with the link, or something similar. The point is that your data map should be in its genuine format.
The response to the first question covers this. I would like printed pages bound together, but I have no real preference regarding how this should be done.
Will you be giving us actual feedback on our designs?
Will the grade be based on the design plan or the actual design? or will it be both? How can we maximize our scores?
What are the main points that you are looking for as far as the actual map is concerned?
My Star Wars Family Tree map is based on information people have compiled on a fan site. Would listing the fan site be a specific enough source, or would you like the actual list of "official" movies, books, games, etc. that this information comes from?
Yes, final data maps should be in their authentic intended formats. Large format printing is available in the DLC (Hicks Library, bottom floor). As stated in the course description, the money you save from not purchasing a class textbook is to be used for product production such as this. If it is cost-prohibitive to put your data map in its final format, you will have to address this with me before the due date.
Is the final draft due
NEWMAN — Fri, 09/19/2008 - 10:18Is the final draft due electronically or as a hard copy?

How exactly are we turning
Cookz — Fri, 09/19/2008 - 10:18How exactly are we turning this in? Printing all the documents out? Posting to a comment with a zipped folder? Burning everything to a CD? Other?
re: How exactly are we turning
jtirrell — Sat, 09/20/2008 - 15:45See above.
last question...
s5m32l3 — Fri, 09/19/2008 - 10:19How do we present our project? Like staple the pages together? Put it in a folder? Do you need a digital copy of our map?
re: last question...
jtirrell — Sat, 09/20/2008 - 15:45See above.
Final Question
Pat — Fri, 09/19/2008 - 10:19If we don't have any sources, what do you want us to do for the References section on the Postmortem?
re: Final Question
jtirrell — Sat, 09/20/2008 - 15:47You can omit that section, but you should have sources. If you have no sources, it is likely that your work is not as strong as it could be.
Question
LazerJ1 — Fri, 09/19/2008 - 10:20What is the preferred method of project delivery? (i.e. binder, folder, stapled pages, etc)

Sourcing
Xwing328 — Fri, 09/19/2008 - 10:20My Star Wars Family Tree map is based on information people have compiled on a fan site. Would listing the fan site be a specific enough source, or would you like the actual list of "official" movies, books, games, etc. that this information comes from?
re: Sourcing
jtirrell — Sat, 09/20/2008 - 15:52Listing the site itself is really the only legitimate option. If you used the site, then it is your source, not the films themselves.
project 1 questions
boiler16 — Fri, 09/19/2008 - 13:20Since my last draft was handwritten, do I still need to scan and post for today since I gave you a hard copy?
What all do I need to have hard copies of when I turn in the final project?
re: project 1 questions
jtirrell — Sat, 09/20/2008 - 15:531. No
2. The final design plan and postmortem should be printed. The data map should be in its authentic intended format.
final questions
lefty150 — Fri, 09/19/2008 - 18:18Do we need to list every website and url address that we used in our project in the postmortem even if it is included on our data map?
re: final questions
jtirrell — Sat, 09/20/2008 - 15:55Yes, all external resources should be included, and you should summarize what you took from each source.
Final Question
Roachel — Sat, 09/20/2008 - 11:51My data map is supposed to be an 11 1/2 * 17 size document with lamenation when it is in it's finished state. Is that how I should turn it in?

Do we need to turn in all of
noles32 — Sun, 09/21/2008 - 10:56Do we need to turn in all of our rough drafts along with the final draft?
re: Do we need to turn in all of
jtirrell — Sun, 09/21/2008 - 23:01No, just final drafts of your design plan, data map, and postmortem on the turn in date.
