Good and Not So Good…

Assignment Content

Top of Form

We spent a large amount of time in class talking about “good” systems and “not so good” systems…and we saw some of the characteristics of each…and I am sure (at least I hope) that while we discussing it, you were thinking of systems you work with that you think are ‘good’, and those that you think are ‘not so good’…

So for this assignment, I want you to think about systems that you PERSONALLY use, and tell me one system that you think is good, and one system that you think is not so good…if it is a website, include the link…tell me 
SPECIFICALLY 
why
 you think the system is good or not so good…and tell me how you would improve on what they have…

THIS IS NOT A RESEARCH ESSAY…I want you to select systems and websites that you actual use or actually visit, and tell me why you PERSONALLY like or dislike the system…

And I know your next question…how long does this assignment have to be?…well, I am not really into counting words…but just to give you some perspective, I would say that by the time you are done, you should have a least one full page or maybe a little more than one full page…if you wrote half a page, you probably wrote too little…if you wrote 5 full pages, you wrote too much…as I always tell my classes – just write!…and before you know it, you will have 1 to 2 pages…

IMPORTANT NOTE…my expectation is that you write about your personal experiences and your own personal opinions…if I find your answers on the internet, you will receive a 
ZERO for the assignment with 
NO opportunity to make up the work…so please…do you own work!…
