Ch. 8/19 Readings

I think chapter 8 was useful because having an effective style is necessary for a reader-centered approach. One of the points that I hadn't considered a lot is that it is important to simplify sentences. I noticed that sometimes in an attempt to establish authority, a writer may use difficult words and sentences. However, this decreases the usability for the readers. Instead, it is better to select strong words to stress what is important. There was also a section about using specialized terms. In my experience, I know how difficult it is to ask for help on a certain subject, only to receive a reply full of terms you don't understand. At the end, you end up exactly in the same place.

Chapter 19 focused on project management strategy. I don't have a lot of experience in this area, which is why I think this information will be useful. I think one of the most important points in this chapter was establishing a plan and schedule. I know that it is easier for me to complete any project when I have a plan. This will allow me to see what I need to do and how much time I have to do it.
