Hello Class!
I have just a few comments regarding the areas that most people lost points for during the first submission. Please check your rubric comments from the first assignment, even if you got 100, because many of you received extra credit. Please make sure you address those issues for A2.
1. Make sure you are completing the work in BOTH the "Average" column and the "Excellent" column. In order to receive full credit, as stated on the rubric, the Excellent column says "Average + ... " right at the top.
2. I felt that the majority of you did a great job (!) recognizing the purpose of the assignment sequence as being similar to the design field and how a structural system must be completed first before the mechanical systems. It is also always a good habit to look at all the design options before settling on the final one. Some of you lacked detail on this section and therefore lost points.
3. Double check all spelling/grammar! I will not be as lenient on the group assignments with spelling/grammar as there are multiple people that can now check for grammar and spelling mistakes. I recommend typing up your paragraphs in Microsoft Word first, as I know the wix.com sites don't have a great spell check feature.
4. Make sure your website looks cohesive (i.e. fonts, color scheme, etc). Especially when you will be having multiple people contributing to the design of the website, presentation is important.
5. Late submissions will automatically lose 5 points moving forward. Please remember to submit your URL by 2:00pm on the due date.
6. Friendly reminder to complete your Teamwork Assessments within 24 hours of your submission. It is an EASY 10 points! I recommend completing it right after you submit your website, so you won't forget.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions!
