Here is an open invitation to all of you: this is your place to talk amongst yourselves, debate, ask questions, etc. If you have a question, more than likely someone else will have it too. Posting it here will often get you a faster reply from one of your classmates than if you email me.
Just post everything as a comment in reply to this one, and we're off!
Where do we stick the link to our own blogs? And has anybody else said anything anywhere yet, cuz I don't see anything, and it's making me nervous!
ReplyDeleteOn the "Home" page tab. You'll see other's links in the comments.
ReplyDeleteLittle bit of a rough start here, but we'll get it figured out!
So were we suppose to make our stuff public for everyone to see?
ReplyDeleteI didn't see this until just now, Chad. Did you get it figured out? You have different levels of privacy on the blogs. You can make them private so only someone with the link can view them (that would mean all of us), you could make them private so nobody could view them (won't work because it's how you turn in stuff...), or you can make them public. Either way I tell people that, if you're writing is on the internet, even via email, expect that it can be read somewhere by somebody. Nothing is 100% secure.
DeleteCan anyone help me with what to write about for this visual analysis? I did a complex engineering drawing and I feel as though I covered everything in a paragraph. I'm not sure how to go deeper or what else to talk about. Any help would be great.
ReplyDeleteHoping others will respond here, Josh, but in the meantime, I've been thinking about your question this afternoon and have a couple thoughts. Note I don't have a right or wrong answer for you, but just as your peers might, I'm thinking aloud. As the author, you are the final word on this question.
DeleteI'm looking at this visual on your blog right now. I wonder if you could talk about how helpful or unhelpful the drawing is for each purpose you list it might be used for. For instance, could this visual actually be helpful for maintenance personnel? How big would the original have to be to be easily readable? Where might it be kept in the maintenance area if it was that big?
Could it be a kind of overview, then there might be more usable breakdowns to be used by maintenance workers? If you don't think the layout is useful, what might you do to change it? Can you find out what publication this was originally published in? If you can, you can find out a lot as far as who used it for what.
just some thoughts...
