I never realized how traces, trace makers and trace chains are an intricate part of writing. It was interesting to see how an initial topic branches out into something else and yet goes on to create an ongoing chain all of which were built off that initial topic. In addition it’s interesting to see the various ways that people interpret …

The GeoProfile project gave me a fresh new outlook on writing. It allowed me to write completely off of first hand experiences, which was a great experience. Interacting with people of the Fargo/Moorhead community gave me some much appreciated insight. I was in the music group, and I was able to meet the band named …

I feel like this project changed my perspective immensely. I never knew how much impact these buildings had on our community. If you don’t deal with these buildings such as the Coliseum or the FM Curling Club everyday, you don’t know what they do to help our our community. These buildings can be used for …
Writing Traces via Tracing Writing

Considering our early discussions on culture, traces, trace-makers, and trace-chains, and, most notably, how “nothing happens in a vacuum,” has this project changed your perception of how writing contributes to this process of representing people and ideas? For example, we discussed the cultural geography concepts of traces and how spaces are continually being re-composed through …

This presentation did change my view on user experience. I’m not a tech kind of person, so I don’t really pay attention to why I like certain websites based on their functionality and design. He made interesting points relating the spread of word and the reasons why people want to return to websites. He linked …

My idea of what user experience has totally changed after reading Koen Claes presentation. It now makes sense why people design things the way they do and advertise the way they do. I always wondered why some websites were designed the way they were. Some are so different from the others that I use but …

The user experience is not just about making something memorable!! It is about positive feelings that make the user enjoy the experience and because of those feelings they remember it. After all, so many grotesque and horrifying images are “memorable”, but that isn’t what we want the user to experience. I like what one of …

The presentation about user experience did not change my perspective about web pages. I have always considered content and visual aspects to be more appealing to the user than the experience. If a website is somewhat difficult to use, but very interesting and visually pleasing, the users will more than likely continue to use the …

The idea of User experience has changed my perspective on how web pages and software are designed, because they design in it a special way to create a different experience. Depending on the design of the page can create a totally different experience. For example, if you want to design your page so that it …
