Take+Home+Quiz+2


 * CCT360: Take Home Quiz #2**
 * Assigned: November 8th**
 * Due: November 15th (e-submission) **
 * Evaluation: 15% of final mark**




 * Overview:** This quiz will test your knowledge and comprehension of the assigned readings – more importantly it will ask you to deploy the concepts you've learned in a problem-solving capacity.


 * Exercise:** Answer the following three questions:
 * 1) The eighth chapter of //Information Architecture// discusses three types of navigation – structural, associative and utility. Use annotated screen captures to identify (and analyze) these elements on the //The New York Times// website. //Response limit: Two pages (single-sided) of annotated screen captures.//
 * 2) At the end of his 2005 article //What Is Web 2.0: Design Patterns and Business Models for the Next Generation of Software//, web evangelist Tim O'Reilly identifies seven core 'competencies' of web 2.0 companies. Pick one of these competencies and discuss how it relates to a web service of your choosing. //Response Limit: 500 words.//
 * 3) You have been working with WordPress for approximately two months now. In your opinion, what are the strengths and shortcomings of this platform? //Response Limit: 500 words.//


 * Submission Guidelines:** Students are expected to save their work as a PDF and email it to the instructor at greg.smith1@sheridanc.on.ca on or before 11:59pm on November 15th.

One additional requirement:
 * 1) Include a word count after answers #2 and 3.


 * Evaluation:** Each response will be marked out of five. This breaks down further to 4/5 for content 1/5 for style. The content mark will take into account the soundness of your arguments and the degree to which you //demonstrate your comprehension// of the readings (rewriting material from the text or lecture notes should not be confused with comprehension). The style mark will be based on the strength of your writing, your grammar and the clarity/legibility of your annotated screen captures in question #1. Surpassing the 'response limit' of any of the questions will result in a one mark penalty for that question.
