Talk:WritDM Spring 2013 Proposal

Add topic
There are no discussions on this page.

If I'm being honest, I really do not like your topic. I think it's not original enough, and there are already plenty of resources on the Interwebs about Wordpress. It also might be way too much work and research. And fairly tedious. Seriously, do people really need to be told about the dashboard? Posts? Themes? Is this not covered ad nauseum on the Web already? I also do not see how your purpose relates to the revised topic?

I'm sorry, guys, but I think your topic could be much better and much more useful, especially since I gave you two excellent ones to consider.

(Where are the group posts? Why is Carroll's title italicized and put in quotation marks? Which should it be?)

Perhaps if you phrased it like: “How to Build a Blog: the College Student Edition” it might be much better. This way, it could be more general, discuss points relevant to WritDM, and still cover Wordpress.

At this point, you may do what you like, but I really would advise you to reconsider your topic one more time. Do we need to revise due dates? If so, please communicate with me.

A very good start.

I'm not sure about your focus — in that it doesn't seem focused enough. In other words: it might be too much. When I suggested that you take on the Composition FAQ or Literary Terms, I was trying to suggest a project that would not be too overwhelming. Here, I'm not sure if you intend to write a guidebook or a reference manual or something in between.

Please see the instructions again. I ask for each individual to have a single entry. This proposal looks like each is responsible for more than that. Why take on extra work?

For the small group: why not just have a more complex term that you work on together? Again, your proposal does not make it clear (or overcomplicates?) what you intend to do for this requirement.

Like I said: a good start, but I think you need to revise and refocus just a bit.
