I used the schema as a guide. All the elements not only are the structure of the genre but also a reminder of the information that I need to provide for a feasibility report. I didn’t have enough experience of this genre but I’m an expert of it now. I didn’t have any difficulties on the syntax of XML, but I had a little trouble in using “lvl” and “n”. After several tries and reading other group member’s XML, I figured out how to use these attributes to organize and beautify my feasibility report. The “Uptake” article was helpful so that I know my genre’s desired uptake genre and the genre will uptake from. Group’s research helps a lot since we have Seth who had experienced with this genre already and easy to get examples and interviews. The decision of the genre was quick and we had our team design entry ready pretty soon with Seth’s resources. We had everything decided fast as we communicated well to get everything done. I didn’t feel any difficult working with our group. In fact, all of our group members are very easy to work with. It will be hard and lack of time if we don’t have the group to do the research together. The design of this assignment is good since we have two parts, one is the group one is individual. I like the way of all the assignments in this class which is a kind of different from my other classes. After this project, I know the genre of our group and I know other group’s genre as well from their presentations. I’m also looking forward to the next project.
