Bucket List FYE Proposal | AU COMM Studies - 0 views

    • Chad Harriss
       
      It's really just a bit more than this. Your proposal alos develops and builds community across classes by joining students together in a common project. Don't underestimate or undersell your idea.

      You say it better in paragraph #2. Marry this paragraph to the one above. You can say all of this more efficiently and powerfully if you do so.

      Ditto with this paragraph. I can see the Bucket List format sitting under this piece but since it's organized like an essay other readers won't know that you're responding to specific questions. For example, simply saying something exists comes out of the blue and reads awkwardly without the context of the proposal. You should also link back to that proposal so the readers (i.e. steering committee members can see that too.)

       Is MyAlfred really form of social media?

      Why not just say the alfred community, which includes students, faculty, staff, alumni, and villagers?

      The town's description should be your introduction. This is an excellent paragraph. It's compelling and well-written.

      Media is the plural.

      Pick a hard number. Find the approximate student population and the relative size of the typical incoming class. What percentage of each would you like to reach immediately? How about within five years? hard numbers are better for assessment purposes.

      You are not selling this project with this list. This reads like a to do list rather than five sentences that build excitement about your project. See the examples on the Drumbeat blog.
    • Chad Harriss
       
      A revision might look like this: 1. Learn about the Alfred community. 2. Meet new people. 3. Spread ideas. 4. Share experiences. 5. Look back at your accomplishments. These sentences are not terribly different than yours but the impact of the words is markedly different.

      Don't just offer the problem; offer solutions.  This is an opportunity to discuss privacy and decorum in the FYE program. This idea could be married to an information literacy component.
    • Chad Harriss
       
      How will they know to do this? Explain how the FYE class should introduce this project. You say profs will encourage, but you need to teach the profs to teach this project. Be more explicit.
