Monolith

The Monolith from Kubric's 2001: A Space Odyssey inducing the apes (man) to use tools (weapons):


This massive block is a visual reminder to avoid monolithic paragraphs in your blog post write ups. No giant, impenetrable chunks of text please!

3 Grading Considerations


Great discussions in class today. To recap, these are the three things I'm looking for in every graded post you make to your online portfolio/class blog:

1) Content
- Do you address the questions?
- Are you specific with your answers?
- Bonus: do you expand on the issue/bring something more to the table?

2) Readability
- No monolithic paragraphs.
- Logical, efficient and polished presentation of information.
- Use a readable text color and font (no red font on black backgrounds!).

3) Use An image
- Intuitive form of communication.
- The more relevant, the better.
- Use an image up front to set the stage for the post.
