Deceptive Advertising

"False advertising or deceptive advertising is the use of false or misleading statements in advertising. As advertising has the potential to persuade people into commercial transactions that they might otherwise avoid, many governments around the world use regulations to control false, deceptive or misleading advertising. Truth in labeling refers to essentially the same concept, that customers have the right to know what they are buying, and that all necessary information should be on the label."

What are some other examples of deceptive advertising? Feel free to link to pictures in your responses.

Credibility Issues for Consideration

The Work Itself
Is it logical and well-supported by reasonable, credible sources?
Is the information in the source correct? How do you know?
Are the tone and style appropriate to your audience? Can tone and style have an impact on appropriateness of sources? How?
Do the source choices meet your own goals and purpose(s)? In what way?


Source of the Work
How long has the source been in existence?
Why has it existed as long as it has or why is it not in existence?
Does the source use reviewers? If so, who are they?
What kinds of positions does the source support?
Is the source referenced by other writers? If so, who are they?


General Issues
For whom does the source have to be credible?
What kinds of sources would create credibility for different audiences?

IP Continued

Hi class-
 
Now that you're on the way with info for your analytical report
revisions, let's launch back into the IP discussion.

Did my short intro about IP generate any particular questions for you?
Or new ideas? Or confuse you?

Koresh Article Discussion

Hi class-
As you know, we're virtual on Tues, so to prepare, I'm providing you
with the specifics for what we'll work with.

To start, I'd like for you to read the Koresh article at

http://www.lcc.gatech.edu/~herrington/baseweb/koresh/koresh.html

It's also linked from your course schedule, and I fixed the coding
problem in the link so it should be working fine now.

Our first task will be to discuss the 4 different approaches for
making ethical decisions-- and if you have a different approach to
add, feel free to discuss that, too. I'd like to know which approach
you think is most used in your own fields and whether it's effective,
then which approach you use and why you choose the approach you do.

The next part of the discussion will involve applying the different
tests to a series of case situations (taken from Sam Dragga's
research
on ethics in the workplace). I'll add this in a new post after we've
covered the first part well.

Let me know if you have questions-

First Virtual Class

Hi class and welcome to our first virtual class. We're a little behind
on our schedule, but I want to catch with some of it here, then go
back to the graphics/text issues when we're f2f again.

For our virtual class, read the article below regarding the makeup and
activities in the GCP-- You can access the article at

http://www.lcc.gatech.edu/~herrington/baseweb/gcptroublemaking.pdf

The link doesn't work well off the class website--

So, read through the article and then ask questions that will be
pertinent to your research approaches. Are there any things that
surprise you about the project? Does the article give you ideas about
what you'd like to research?

Let's start with this, then go from there--

Oh, and BTW-- check out the incredible panoramic shots of St
