"Only connect! . . .Live in fragments no longer.Ó E. M. Forster, Howards End (1910), ch. 22
ÔOne day when I was twenty-three or twenty-four
this sentence seemed to form in my head, without my willing it, much
as sentences form when we are half-asleep, ÔHammer your thoughts
into unityÕ. For days I could think of nothing else and for years I tested
all I did by that sentence [...]Ó William Butler Yeats (cited in Frank
Tuohy, Yeats, 1976, p.51 )

Role of Class Pictures in the Course
Class Pictures Required for Portfolio
Includes presentation of all pictures available of your self in the course. In electronic portfolios the presentation consists of places and captions for pictures but the pictures themselves can be called up by hyperlinks to the course website [not to webspace or any other internet site] (thus no need to include all those pictures on your CD or jump drive). However, the pictures themselves must appear on their own, not as links which must then be selected by the reader (use the code <img src= "hyperlink">). The visual presentation grade will be low if you simply put all the photos in a gallery somewhere instead of organizing and presenting them where appropriate in the portfolio.
Grades: To get a B on the portfolio you need to meet all the
basic requirements almost perfectly, including detailed table of contents/indexing
and linking.
Grades: to get an A on you need to go beyond that to an achievement in visual rhetoric. Think of this as a portfolio you will be citing in an application to an architectural or leadership magazine, seeking employment in competition with many others. You would be well advised to have it all typed in one way or another, perfectly proofread, illustrated, etc. and very professional in appearance. Pay special attention to unity and to Effective Visual Design (Faigley).
For a good example of how to include all your DB entries in a web portfolio see FranziÕs E603 and previous websites. Your portfolio must be put on a CD or jump drive so that it can be transferred to my website and must run on that Mac server. YOU NEED TO GET THE CD WITH THE WEBSITE WITH THESE AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED CHANGES TO ME AT LEAST TWO DAYS BEFORE IT IS DUE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS PROPERLY.
