English 421: Technical Writing

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to brag about myself in this article because it sure feels like it… But I guess if it’s for credit, brag I will. For the group projects I feel like I made very strong contribution and definitely pulled my weight in order to get these two projects done.  When we began working on the white paper project we each worked on our own parts trying to do individual research and find sites that documented both Planzone and Actionize.  If you look on our group “forum” I contributed to this each week that it was asked of us and had some pretty relevant sources with good summaries of each source that I submitted.  When it came to splitting the actual white paper up for each member I helped determine how this should be split up and completed my part thoroughly.  Then when it came time to edit the submission for the final draft I fixed up the article adding more sources and tailoring it so that it fit together with everyone else’s part more closely.  Then I submitted it to Pat for the final submission because he was in charge of putting everyones parts together and making it look pretty.

For the next project that we worked on… the usability documentation I think I made an adequate contribution to the group by assisting in writing the memos for each persona, even though Andrew really came through on that took care of a lot of it.  Then after that I myself took care of the multimedia submission and made most of the power point slides with Andrew then placing in pictures and spicing it up a little.  I also did a lot of talking during the presentation of our PowerPoint, albeit a lot of stupid one-liners about firing team members I still think I demonstrated that I knew our technologies well.

To anyone in my group that really read this… I think all of this is true? If I’m lying send me an e-mail or meet me at the park to fist fight about it.

I also attached a real "memo-ish" looking word file for Cat.
