Prospectus

The prospectus seems to really be going easier than I origninally thought. I really think it will help me write my paper when that time comes. It ensures you are starting to think about your paper before you actually start. Although It is a little difficult to fiind a scholarly source, the assignment isn't too bad.

The prospectus is a great way to start our last paper. It shows us how writing IS a process, especially for this next longer paper. It helps one sort out ideas, what are the important points to get across to the reader, and how to organize their argument. It is like a more complex outline. I also have the same question that someone else made that is why the prospectus is worth 100 points just like our other fully developed papers? I can see both sides where it is part of the writing process and it would benefit the writer to do a prospectus correctly, but it doesn't seem like it is as difficult as our papers we had to write which is worth the same amount of points.

I agree with both points made. I think it's important for us to value each step of the writing process, but I think the question I have is "is this prospectus just as important as the final paper?" Maybe in the eyes of a Rhetorician, each step is just as important, but in my eyes, and maybe in the eyes of most, I think your final draft is the most important. So, is the goal of this class to get us away from thinking the final draft is the most important? I'm thinking it is.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Perfectly, I can't know if which will benefit myself, having said that certainly did wonders for you! Fantastic submit!
