Today I worked on finishing my essay and really tried to find a fine line between evaluating and complaining. I tend to have a strong voice when I write and sometimes it comes across informal which is not a style appropriate for this project. My initial draft of my essay started with a brain dump. Then I went back and made sure I had all requirements included in my essay. The last step is to edit for conciseness and clarity.

As I was re-reading the constraints and affordances section I was still puzzled as to if I would give this product a thumbs up or down. I realized my perfect answer: I love the product but hate the process. Since this is such a sensitive program it is extremely frustrating but the result can be a great asset to one’s work. I think I have found in this a fair way to present the constraints in a professional manner.
