Keep your comments relevant and constructive and do
not repeat your answers/comments.
Comments which are not relevant to
the Concepts For A Digital World Course (GSCI 1042),
and/or are not constructive, will result in a grade of zero for this bonus
assignment. For example, if you did or
didn’t like something, explain why you did or didn’t like it and what you think
would improve it. There are many
reasons/causes for liking or not liking something, including one’s own
preferences, attitudes, expectations, and behaviours. As you think about the comments you are to
make, reflect on the reasons for your thoughts and, after analyzing them and
determining their validity, write your comments. Make sure that your writing is well
organized, coherent, grammatically correct, and typographical and spelling
errors are corrected.
When you are finished answering the
questions, you should have at least 1,479
words (1,000 words or more of your own plus the 479 words of the heading,
questions, etc.) If you don’t submit at least 1,479
words, you will receive zero for this bonus assignment. To
determine the total number of words, use the word count utility at: http://www.wordcalc.com/
