Chapter Fifteen contains material which is more theoretical than the bulk of the chapters in Part Four. The materials in Chapter Fifteen that are devoted to design principles might also prove intriguing for a computers and writing course. A class which is studying digital communications could use the comparisons between print and electronic design principles as points around which to hold a debate about various forms of composition.
You may also want to think about some of the design recommendations given in Chapter Fifteen in conjunction with your own syllabus or class site. If you are going to be assigning Web projects for students, you may want to not only assign Chapter Fifteen, but also add a section to your class Web site concerning design. You may be able to rearticulate the major points for student builders and provide links to some of the style and design sites on the Web (see Appendix One).
