Instructor Comments:

Slide 1:

You did a great job choosing a topic and have a well thought out reason why.

Slide 2:

You had a great start to showing how your medium has changed over time. Make sure your timeline shows the progression of your medium from conception to current day. Add in the more recent information as well.

Slide 3:

You did not address the questions here. Make sure that you are answering them specifically. First you need to tell us if you think that your medium in general is significant to the general public and why. You need to back this up with your research. Second you need to tell us how the significance has changed over time. This requires you to talk about your medium’s significance in the past and compare it to now. This too has to be backed up by your research. Finally you need to tell us what has led to the change in significance. This should also be backed up by your research. You need to make the actual statements and then back them up. You can use some of your ideas as support for what has brought about some of the change in significance and the current significance. Just make sure you answer the questions.

Slide 4:

You told us how this medium affects the general population and their experience with it in different aspects of their lives. However, this was to be specific to you and your own life. Thus you need to tell us instead how you interact with this medium in different aspects of your life.

Slide 5:

You did a good job identifying 5 notable people in the evolution of your media choice. Make sure you can explain and source each one’s contribution for week 5.

AWE Requirements

· Assignment includes a bibliography of sources used.

Instructor Comments:

You did a good job with your bibliography and sourcing. Work on your internal sourcing. You do not need all of that information in there for APA. In text citations only need part of the source information. The writing center has great tutorials on how to do this.
