Peer Review 14

For this peer review, I focused on Nick Hernandez's plan to create a Quick Reference Guide to the personal project. I thought this was a very interesting genre and format to use for the final project, and I was very curious as to how he would do it. Here is a link to Nick's plan.

  • Although there is not a complete project up for Nick, I would recommend he consider what he wants the 'guide' to be about. Since this will partly be a how-to (in the sense that it's a QRG) and partly be a self-reflection from the point of view of the assignment, I thought the most important aspect of the project would be finding a way to mesh these two things together. A self-reflective QRG would have to be unusually focused, because many of us are doing video essays which give a little more leeway to maneuver between different topics that we want to address. However, that could be a positive because the QRG won't let you meander around aimlessly--there has to be a focus to what you are writing about.
