Artifacts for UWRT 1102Edward Jenkins
Process Work Artifacts The first piece of process work that I
can use as an artifact is when discussing my 3 Column Notes
Assignment. Before the finalized draft I didnt have any color
coding, and I feel like this addition adds quite a bit to help
establish the links between all of the sources.This is what the
Three 3 column Notes looked like before and after.
The next artifact for process work would be the way I changed
the e-Portfolio website. Not only are the links present in the
pieces of writing, but I also embedded the videos next to the
writing. To make the videos easy to access and link directly to the
words. I also changed the background to make it more appealing and
the writing easier to see. I also changed the menu selection to a
vertical menu, now its much easier to navigate, I include the blogs
as well as a link to the FPE page on the home page for more
visibility. I added a blue background behind the blog posts as
well, makes them much easier to read on the front page.
The third process work artifact is shown in my Traditional
Research Paper. As I changed the way the links worked, I added
hyperlinks instead. Making the essay flow much smoother and the
links are a lot to more appealing to see. I also changed the format
of the photos several times, and I added some sources much later on
in the drafting process. Such as the David Sackman video, at the
end of the paper. Also the Traditional Research Paper page on my
website has the appropriate videos embedded below the paper.
BAM!
The fourth process work artifact is the revision I made to blog
post 3 as requested. Which specifies where I plan to find the
sources, they are also on the Bibliography.
Feedback Artifacts The first feedback artifact is the feedback
that I received in the group-teacher conference, I used the
information of people enjoying the links to the videos and the
photos, but the placement on the bottom of the paper was
insufficient. I also needed to properly cite the photos. Now the
photos are cited and the photos have been moved in with the rest of
my writing. Here is the citations, and here is the photos mixed in
with the paper. Whereas before they were below and they lacked
citations.
The second Feedback artifact is when I provided feedback on
Thachers Blog Post 1. I mentioned each of his topics and helped him
ponder between the 3 inquires. I also find it interesting that he
and I both agree on the answer to the second question.
Wild Card Artifacts The first wild card artifact is a blog
called Rhetoric for the Masses, which I wrote in UWRT 1101. I
believe this directly applies to how I used rhetoric (especially
logos) in my assignments for UWRT 1102. The blog post can be found
here:

to mention there is also a Key Concept for this class that is
Rhetorical Awareness. The second wild card artifact is also an
instance from UWRT 1102 in which we read this passage by Richard
Straub called Responding, Really Responding
http://spalding.pbworks.com/f/Straub_Responding.pdf I used what I
learned from this quite a bit in the process of me providing
feedback to others. I find that this handout was really helpful for
getting other people to really understand the purpose of peer
review. Writers Notebook Artifacts Among the notes on my laptop I
found a perfect Writers Notebook artifact, and this is the paper
with my questions for the librarian on them. This also reminds me
of the time that I found the Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) that
included on Oculus Rift game developer. The library trip really
helped me nail down the evidence on my case for the past of VR how
it relates to the present. Without this artifact the papers would
look completely different.Here is the paper with the questions on
it. A second Writers Notebook artifact I found is the Outline I
made for my traditional research paper. As a writer I have always
made outlies in this fashion, and I personally find them to be a
very helpful element to my writing process that is created in my
Notebook. Here is where the outline can be found
