Comment on Wrapping Up by Bryson

Your two takeaways from the Verification Quest are really good. I think audience consideration is the biggest key of success in rhetoric. Almost every choice you make in the transformation of your work should be done with audience in mind. I greatly agree with you when you mentioned how well this class builds on itself. I have been impressed, this is one of the most well structured courses I have been in. This final project is the culmination of a semester worth of work, and it adds the challenge of working as a team. Best of luck!

The PWR showcase solidified what my research was and why I cared about it too, although I presented another project in another class that I am thinking of when I say this. Something about talking to other people about a project you worked hard on does remind you why it is important and worth caring about. It is good that you managed to learn everything you needed to learn in that limited time. Getting it done is what counts. As this semester draws to a close, I can’t wait to get it done as well.

I too am exhausted lol. I definitely agree that this class has taught me a lot more than the literature classes I’ve taken. While I enjoyed a lot of those classes, I also ended up walking away from lots of them with the feeling that I hadn’t really gained anything. However, leaving this class I feel like I’ve learned tons about things I didn’t even know existed (markdown languages and how the internet works). I’m really thankful that I got to take this class before graduating and am with you all the way on being grateful for the people in this class. It’s been fun!

I love how you organized your post! This was one of those weeks where I know we got a ton of work done but looking back my brain just goes, “It was all a blur which means we accomplished nothing.” My group has also noticed that Twine is very finicky. We’ve run into lots of issues when combining the CSS with HTML for videos, pictures, and even the basic text at times. While we’ve worked out some of the major issues it really does just seem to be trial and error at this point. I also had a lot of fun at the showcase and I’m glad our class got to participate!

Haha! The slippery fish analogy is so true! I am really struggling in that department. I felt very unsure at the start of this project, but as things have progressed, I feel a little more sure of what my group and I are doing. There are still a lot of unknowns, but figuring out the files, communication, and foundational stuff(labels, tags, etc.) has been really helpful. Our group set up a group chat and have taken turns working on our respective parts/allotted work. If we have big things to work on, we zoom and do it together. I like the way it has worked out so far. Also, I really enjoyed y’all’s game! I look forward to seeing it completed. Good luck and have a great rest of your semester!

I graduate in May, so the nostalgia is coming in strong. I feel like I just started. My PWR classes have been some of the most experimental and mentally pushing classes I’ve ever taken, and this class is no exception. Learning HTML and CSS was genuinely painful. I did mental gymnastics every time I sat down to try and figure out why something wasn’t working. In the end, though, it was very rewarding. This final project has been super fun, and something that I’m excited to see come full circle. It’s been a lot of fun seeing everyone’s game come together. I thought you and your group’s game had a good balance between fiction and history. The code actually helped me figure out how to upload videos! I hope you have a great rest of your semester!

I really wish I could give you some tips and tricks with CSS and team communication but when you’re in a duo you kinda don’t have much a choice but to both put in an equal amount of effort. However, as someone who has used Twine before, I like hearing, or in this case reading, about how your adventures with the program has been. I got to see your project and I can totally see where all that excitement and effort has been put in and I hope you keep up the great work! As we wrap up the semester, I wish everyone luck on putting forth the best project they can.

While looking through everyone’s titles for their last post, yours was just so straight forward and all I could think was: wow this really is the end. With that being said, you have made so many great points about what we’ve learned this semester. I’m so glad we read “Verified” as I feel it really helped validate of thing I do on the internet already, but even more it provided great methods on how to go about finding if something is true or not. I’m glad I was able to develop my HTML and CSS skills just as you’ve mentioned, and I totally agree with how the course has made you better as a creator.

Hi Bryson! It’s been so great to get to know you in this class. You always have good insights on our projects and class discussions. I appreciate your final thoughts about Verified; that’s a solid takeaway, that it’s up to us to know what’s going on and to have the skills to figure it out if we don’t. I agree with you about Twine and making changes to the CSS, also. It was kind of a major hassle to make any sort of minor edit lol. And, the quote you included in this post packs some punch! Thank you for sharing it, and thanks for being a friend this semester!

Hi! I agree that this past week was super busy. I’m sure it’ll only get worse as the semester nears its end. I thought the student showcase was awesome too! I loved getting to see what everyone had been working on, both in our class and other classes. I also struggle with some social anxiety, so I feel you on that front. It’s difficult to push past that sometimes, but I bet everyone appreciated your effort to talk to them and ask questions. I tried to do the same, and everyone was so passionate about their research! So cool. Your workaround for Twine and HTML is really smart also–I may have to try that if need be. Great post!
