Grade: 100/100

Professor Comments: Nice work on this, Kathleen. A few comments on the rubric, as always. 

Rubric Comments: 

Timeliness: 5/5 - Thoughtful of you to provide your submission in multiple formats.
Media Sources: 15/15 (no comments)
Depth of Discussion: 10/10 - Nicely done in this respect. 
Hyperlinks: 10/10 (no comments)
Design and Presentation: 10/10 - Lovely, Kathleen. Just like your last one, this had the "look" of an online piece, but even more polished and professional in this iteration. The color scheme/blocking was quite nice. If you ever have another class with assignments like this, you might consider changing the "color" of the hyperlinks from the classic blue to something that reflects that your selected color scheme. It will lend a more cohesive feel. 
Ease of Reading: 10/10 - Nicely done here, too. 
Graphics/Visuals: 10/10 - The children workers was particularly well-selected. 
Peer Reply #1: 10/10 - Fascinating! I did not know this tidbit about the music selections. Thank you for sharing. I may time my future visits to correspond to my music preferences :) 
Peer Reply #2: 10/10 - Lots of "vegan" foods wouldn't necessarily qualify as "healthy," would they? 
Peer Reply #3: 10/10 - I'm sure you made (cohort's) day! :)
