2013-09-16 Class Plans

Today in class, we will focus on submitting the first assignment.

1. I'll spend a few minutes talking about Memos. The typical headers are To:, From:, Subject:, and Date. You don't use a greeting/salutation or closing. 

2. Work on your cover memo in a word processor. Reply to the questions included in the Assignment, Step 3. Focus on explaining your choices to me so that I understand your Info Sheet and Glossary fully.

3. Make a document that includes all your work in this order:
     a. Cover Memo
     b. Info Sheet
     c. Glossary

4. Save the document as a PDF, using the naming convention LastName-FirstName-Asgt1.pdf. Check the file to make sure the layout is correct and any links work.

5. Go to the assignment and add your document as an Attachment. 

6. Mark the Honor Pledge.

7. Submit your work.

8. HOMEWORK: Next class we'll begin the unit on Instructions and documentation. Please read Markel, Chapter 14 (pp. 375 to 390) before class. I'll ask you to share some of your experiences (good and bad) with documentation in class.
