FINAL-P2-column-Walker_Ionie

The purpose of this document was to explain visualizations in the field of law and the ethics that come with them. The targeted audience are people who wish to learn law in the future and therefore need to know this information. The document can be digital or paper depending on the preference of the individual who reads it. The column's purpose was to explain to the audience how visualizations in law have ethical considerations. The beginning sentences of my first two paragraphs show what the main ideas of the column are. The first sentence is, "in the field of law, there are many types of visualizations that can be used to make a persuasive case in court" and the second sentence is,"there are six main points to consider when using the above visualization techniques. The first is the accuracy of the material being presented." The context can also be explained through those sentences as well. The audience is the people who wish to go into law and need to know how visuals are important. The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to describe what sources I used to make claims in my column, and summaries of the sources. The context of the bibliography is explained through the summaries. The audience is the same as stated above.

I am most proud of the sources that I found to complete this column. The reason why is because I made sure to take the time in order to find the articles that were scholarly, and accurate. Without the articles there would be no column. I wish I had more time to further expand or revise the column to make more sense of all the different types of visuals that can be used in law and the details about the visuals. I got stuck while researching for the sources that I used. I overcame the problem by trying different ways to search for the types of articles that I needed.

I used my macbook air computer, as well as the University of Arizona library to find the scholarly articles. They were appropriate because they accurately fulfilled my needs for the assignment. To learn the applications I played around with the websites until I understood how to properly search for documents that related to the topic of the project. I learned how to search for scholarly articles in a specific field. I also learned that with any field, visuals always have ethical responsibilities, especially in law. I hope to learn more about the different types of visuals that are used in law, so that in the future when I am in law school I know all about how to use them. I will use the technology applications again to search for articles for other projects that I will have in my last semester as an undergraduate. I believe that I worked through the outcome, critically use key rhetorical concepts through analyzing and composing a multitude of technical texts and genres responding to a variety of cultural situations and global audiences, with project 2 because I had to do a lot of research in order to find the articles that I used. The second outcome I feel I worked toward with this assignment was, Critique and use flexible strategies for reading, drafting, reviewing, collaborating, revising, rewriting, rereading, and editing using a variety of technologies. I feel that I have accomplished this outcome because in project 2 we had to take numerous steps to get to our final draft. We had to have peers edit our work, conduct a self-review of our citations, conduct a sentence analysis, play with sentence variety and style, and try to change our writing to accommodate the paramedic method. The third outcome I feel I worked towards with this assignment was, create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multimedia texts with technical content. I feel that I have worked through this outcome because i had to create my column, have it critiqued, analyze the critique, and evaluate what I needed to change for my final draft. The one personal goal I feel I worked toward was, to be clear in my writing and have the message I am writing about be concise. I believe that I have accomplished this outcome because I took many steps in my column to make sure that every word was needed and every sentence was clear. I edited out a lot of words when I conducted the paramedic method. I learned that as a technical writer, I have to make sure that I have no unneeded jargon in my writing. I also learned that I need to make sure I write clearly and concisely.
