[Solved] report

Assignment Prompt & Instructions

### **Submission Requirements**

– The project should include formal textual divisions, as appropriate — introduction, methods, results, and discussion (for reports), or problem, solution, and implementation plan (for proposals).  Chapters 21 and 22 contain several examples of conventional reports and proposals.
– The project should be formatted as a formal document, with appropriate front and back matter (title page, table of contents, list of figures, executive summary or abstract, references, glossary or appendices if necessary, etc.).
– The project should be single-spaced, and should be approximately 7-12 pages long (including all front and back matter).
– The project must include at least 2 appropriately labeled and cited graphics (but can absolutely contain more), and **should demonstrate effective document design** as we discussed in Chapter 13.

Your project must be submitted electronically here on Canvas in PDF format.

### **Group Management and Grading**

**If you choose to work as a group**, it is up to your group to decide on a topic and work together to create a finished document. How you divide the work is up to you, but do understand that, barring major extenuating circumstances, the final project will be graded as a whole, with one grade issued to the group. I recommend you decide on a plan for everyone to review and approve the final document before you submit it.

I am fully willing to meet with your group to discuss your topic ideas or help suggest ways to approach the subject. Even if we can't all meet in a single video call, you can use the tools in Canvas or Microsoft Teams to ask questions or hold discussions where I can participate and provide feedback.

If your group has creative differences, a team member who is failing to contribute, or any other problems impeding your work, you need to communicate with me as soon as possible.
