English 421: Technical Writing

 This is the final log for the Jagerbombers. It is almost time for us to disband and forth into the world with the knowledge and understanding of our project. Today in class we presented our Multimedia part of the documentation project. Cat said that we had a really good presentation. The compliment to our group was nice and appreciated. We also finished the final touches on our Mulitmedia project and submitted it via email to cat for grading. Thats all folks!!!

Attached is a pdf of the final draft of our white paper.  Have a great Thanksgiving break.

We continued working on our white paper project. After getting back our draft, we discussed several things we could do to improve the paper. We still needed to add an executive summary and table to contents. The group also discussed various things to make the paper better from a visual standpoint. We also started doing some things for the documentation project. We split up the work to provide step-by-step directions for doing various things on Sosius that may be helpful to our created persona, Habib Abdullah, because those douchebags from Drive-Thru Marketing did not want us.

This weekend i worked on putting together a paragraph for our executive summary that we forgot to put into our white paper. I also read through the entire paper looking for errors in the paper and have made notes to correct them with the group in tuesdays class. On tuesday we went threw the paper and made the corrections to it. We also added a table of contents that was missing and fixed up a few other citation errors. On thursday made a few final touches to the white paper final draft and went on a quest to find a color printer on Purdue's campus.

During this week, our group worked together in class to on developing a persona for the next portion of the project "usability". This was interesting because we had to make up some people that would need to use our technology that we have researched. Also, we got back the answers to the questions that we sent over to the Drive Through Marketing Team. I dont think that they liked us. They pretty much said that our technology was not what they were looking for. So Cat informed us that we would just be using our imaginary friends for the rest of our project. 

I missed the group meeting on sunday because of work. My group excused me and accomodated me by sending me an email of my responsibilities for the upcoming week. Cody and I are supposed to research more on the collaborating issue and it to the introduction section that wrote up.

This week was a relatively slow week for the white paper project as we were waiting for the return of our rough draft.  Today in class we divided up the portion of the executive summary which we will complete by Monday night so that I can combine them for class on Tuesday.  The only revisions not addressed in our meeting or previously were addition of a table of contents and correction of grammatical errors.

On Sunday, we met as a group to divide corrections we knew would be necessary before submission of the final draft.  Andy and Cody were tasked to work on adding more information regarding issues which hamper collaboration to our introduction.  Tianyi was to collect screenshots from each site and add the appropriate citation.  Finally, I was to add callouts for important quotes and to add the screenshots ot the paper.

Attached is a copy of the test plan for the usability study, which we wrote in class.
