Today we discussed styles and standards for documentation & citation. You created your own citation styles by identifying the most important parts of a citation. Several elements were common to most: author, title, date, and source. On Wednesday we’ll return to process documentation. Please read Badke Ch. 9 and browse Purdue OWL’s APA and MLA Style sections. Write one process documentation blog post in response to this prompt:

 Irene Edge describes process documentation as “a thorough conveyance of thoughts and processes.” Select one example of process documentation in any format, read it, and write one 100-word blog post in which you describe, summarize and critique it. Does it document thoroughly and completely the process that it claims to document? If you choose a video, please embed the video into your blog post so that we can all view it easily.

Be prepared to discuss your example in class. Instructions for embedding a video into a blog post on the OpenLab are here. You may find it helpful to review the Edge and Robinson articles to guide your selection of a good quality example of process documentation. Questions about this final blogging assignment? Get in touch.

On Wednesday I’ll distribute final research paper guidelines.
