For five of the semester’s readings, post a reading response on the class website. There are seven response opportunities in total, and you may choose to skip two or complete them all to improve your grade on the responses as a whole. If you skip a response, I still expect that you will have done the reading for class.
Reading responses are due two days before class.
Your post should contribute written analysis using one visual example* to demonstrate your understanding of a major concept from that day’s reading. Make sure to use the vocabulary of design you are gaining from the class to explain how your visual example illustrates the concept. Be descriptive but concise: 250–400 words.
*Your visual example may not come from the reading that is due: It must come from another source, and it must be included in your post. Make sure to credit your source as part of your response. The class design blog is meant to enhance discussion and facilitate learning. Skim it, read it, look at the images. You are responsible for knowing what has been posted before you. The same visual example should not be used more than one time. Students may be called on to share their examples during class discussion of the reading.
