Reflection on Project 1 Draft

As the final deadline for Project one draws near, I have been looking over my draft often. I have also looked over Isaak's and Evan's drafts as well. I will now address some audience and context questions about my own draft.

Audience:

• Who, specifically, is going to read my document? 

The main people who will be reading my QRG will my fellow classmates as well as my instructor. Although they will be the main people reading it, it is written in a way that anyone who is interested in the Uber controversy can become informed. 

• What are their values and expectations? 

The expectations of this document is that it is well written and follows the guidelines laid out for us in the rubric. 

• How much information do I need to give my audience?

I need to give my audience enough information that if they didn't know anything about the controversy, they could walk away feeling like they could explain it someone else. There also needs to be enough information for those who do already know some about it, to walk away with new information. 

• What kind of language is suitable for this audience?

My language should come across as credible and like I know what I'm talking about. It should also be simple enough that most people will be able to understand the points being made. 

• What tone should I use with my audience? 

The tone should be formal enough to be knowledgeable but easy enough to understand. It should also be unbiased as I am laying out the information of the controversy.


Context:

• What are the formatting requirements?

The formatting requirements were to follow the requirements of that of a Quick- Reference Guide. Some of these include use of white space and can be easily scanned. I think I have a lot of what is required but should be cleaned up a little. 

• What are the content requirements?

Content requirements include things like an informative title, images, hyperlinks, and subheadings. My QRG currently has all of these, but I am planning adding more to the document. 

• Does my draft reflect the knowledge or skills gained in the class?

I think that my draft has a lot of the skills we have gained in class. I know that it is not perfect at this point, but the more I work on it, the better it will get. 

• Have I addressed any grammatical issues that were highlighted? 

All of the grammatical errors that were highlighted have been fixed, and I plan on revising it even more to catch ones that were not caught in the first place.
