What is the Assignment?

For this assignment, you will evaluate the e-rhetoric of one of your classmate's translated proposals in order to give you experience in assessing and critiquing effective E-Rhetoric in a scholarly hypertext.

What is the process?

• Review the list of Top 6 Tips for E-Rhetoric that you composed earlier this quarter.

• Review Cripps’ analysis of his student models.

• Go onto Forum. Access the folder located below yours and open the translated proposal.
