Last Minute Checklist for Multimedia Projects

Last Minute Checklist for Multimodal Videos:

·         All videos uploaded on youtube

·         All videos given a similar name in order to create continuity

·         All links work, and go to the chosen video

·         All sound and video is well edited, and any glitches are explained in the process paper

·         Some kind of slide to let the viewer know they have reached the end of the video, and that gives them the opportunity to circle back to the beginning and “try again”

·         Make sure that the invisible youtube buttons line up with the buttons in your video.

·         All videos OTHER THAN THE FIRST VIDEO are marked as “unlisted” so that people don’t just walk randomly through the different possibilities

The Vanish Article

How many spaces after a period when typing on a computer? →

Now that I’ve graded you papers electronically, I’ve found that there is some discrepancy over if it is one space or two after a period. My opinion is framed above. 

Annotated Bibliography Tips

  • Summarize: The first step to your annotation is to summarize the source. What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? What kind of evidence does the source use?
  • Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
  • Reflect: Once you’ve summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic?
