WRTG 393 Advanced Technical Writing Week 1

/in /by

WRTG 393 students, The first writing assignment will be a technical description for two different audiences. You will explain to both a non-technical audience and to a specialized audience how something works. You will choose an object or a process with which you are familiar. You will then describe this object or process to an audience that with whom you share a degree of specialization. You will also describe this object or process to an audience that has little or no background of the subject. Your description will include pictures. The description will use visual detail in both words and images. Examples include the following:  You are a member of a gaming community. You could write a description of how a game operates to individuals in your gaming community. You will also describe how the game operates to an audience of non-gamers.  You are in a branch of the military. You could write a description of how a function of your unit operates to an audience of colleagues who are also in your branch of the military. You will also describe how this function works to a non-military audience.  You work for a travel agency. You could write a description of a particular process in searching for an international flight to colleagues at the agency. You could also write a description of the process to an audience that does not work at the travel agency.  You are an auto mechanic. You could write a description of how spark plugs work in a four-cylinder engine to an audience of colleagues who work in your shop. You would also write a description of how spark plugs work in a four-cylinder engine to an audience of non-mechanics.  You work in technical support at a computer store. You could write a description of how a graphics card works to colleagues in your tech support unit. You would also write a description of how a graphics card works to an audience that is not familiar with computers.  You work in a restaurant. You could write a description of how the serving process works during a busy Friday night. You would write a description to fellow workers at the restaurant. You would also write a description to an audience that does not work at the restaurant. Overall, chapter 20 from Markel, “Writing Descriptions,” should be read thoroughly as you begin this assignment. Different types of descriptions call for different strategies. The chapter from Markel is an excellent resource in guiding your approach. The chapter is available in eReserves in our class. Your descriptions should answer the following questions:  What is the object or process? How is it defined?  What does the object or process do?  What does the object or process look like?  What is the object made of? (if you are describing an object and not a process)  How does the object or process work?  Why should the reader be interested in your object or process? Your descriptions should explain the following:  Why the object or process is significant for the audience  How each of the functions of the object or process work  Appropriate details Strategies to Consider for this Assignment: Your description should follow one of these styles of organization o spatial –  this style might be used when you want readers to describe an object or process according to its physical layout. For example, in describing a flatscreen television set, you might start at the top and work you way to the bottom. o Functions in order of importance –  this style would be used if you want to highlight the most important functions first, the next most important functions second, etc. For example, in describing a flatscreen television set, you might start with the pixels, which make up the picture, and then proceed to describe other functions. o Chronological –  this style would be used if you want to describe the object or process according to time. For example, in describing a flatscreen television set, you might start with what happens first (the user turns the television on), what happens second (the pixels respond), what happens third, etc. Helpful Resources  “Writing Descriptions,” chapter from M. Markel in eReserves  David McMurrey’s Technical Description: What does it look like?  Scribd description of a computer mouse Length: 1000-1400 wordstotal (for both documents for both audiences) Due Date: Your instructor will notify you of the due date.

Questions for the Case Study: Project Selection at Nova Western, Inc.

1. According to Harold Kerzner, Project Management: A systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling (Twelfth Edition) what are the 3 main classifications of projects? Use quotes and paraphrasing as needed along with your own words.

2. Read the Nova Western case study. In your opinion, what category would the projects Nova Western is considering fall into?

3. Consider the results of the selection methods (from the case study) and the information about Nova Western, recommend the project Nova Western should select.  Provide strong reasons to support your choice.

Project Nova Western Case Study

Project Selection at Nova Western, Inc. Phyllis Henry, vice president of new product development, sat at her desk, trying to make sense of the latest new project proposals she had just received from her staff. Nova Western, Inc., a large developer of business software and application programs, had been experiencing a downturn in operating revenues over the past three quarters. The senior management team was feeling pressure from the board of directors to take steps to correct this downward drift in revenues and profitability. Their consensus opinion was that Nova Western needed some new product ideas, and fast.

The report Phyllis was reading contained the results of a project screening conducted by two independent groups within the new product development department. After several weeks of analysis, it appeared that two top contenders had emerged as the optimal new project opportunities. One project, code-named Janus, was championed by the head of software development. The other project idea, Gemini, had the support of the business applications organization. Phyllis’s original charge to her staff was to prepare an evaluation of both projects in order to decide which one Nova Western should support. Because of budget restrictions, there was no way that both projects could be funded.

The first evaluation team used a scoring model, based on the key strategic categories at Nova Western, to evaluate the two projects. The categories they employed were:

(1) strategic fit (2) probability of technical success

(3) financial risk (4) potential profit

(5) strategic leverage (ability of the project to employ and enhance company resources and technical capabilities).

 

Using these categories, the team evaluated the two projects as shown below. Scores were based on: 1 = low, 2 = medium, and 3 = high.

 

  Project Janus Project Gemini
Category Importance Score Weighted Score Importance Score Weighted Score
1.  Strategic Fit 3 2 6 3 3 9
2.  Probability of technical success 2 2 4 2 2 4
3.  Financial risk 2 1 2 2 2 4
4.  Potential profit 3 3 9 3 3 9
5.  Strategic leverage 1 1 1 1 2 2
JANUS TOTAL SCORE: 22 GEMINI TOTAL SCORE: 28

 

The above results seem to suggest that Project Gemini is the choice for the next new project. However, Phyllis was also presented with an NPV analysis of the two projects by her second team of evaluators. Assuming a required rate of return of 15% and anticipated inflation rate of 3% over the lives of the two projects, their findings are shown as follows:

NPV Analysis

PROJECT Janus Gemini
Initial investment $250 000 $400 000
Life of the project 5 years 3 years
Anticipated stream of future cash flows:    
Year 1 $50 000 $75 000
Year 2 $100 000 $250 000
Year 3 $100 000 $300 000
Year 4 $200 000 ·
Year 5 $75 000 –
Calculated NPV $60 995 $25 695

The analyses of the two projects by different means had yielded different findings. The scoring model indicated that Project Gemini was the best alternative, and the financial screening favored the higher project NPV of Project Janus. Phyllis was due to present her recommendations to the full top management team this afternoon, seemingly armed with more questions than answers.

Course

Abstract (not required for this paper)

An abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of a paper (American Psychological Association, 2001) that runs a maximum of 120 words. It should contain a synopsis of the points in the paper, but also be readable and well organized. To use this page of the template, simply delete this paragraph and start typing. The formatting should stay the same.

Typing Template for APA Papers

This is an electronic template for papers written in APA style (American Psychological Association, 2009). The purpose of the template is to help the student set the margins and spacing. Margins are set at 1 inch for top, bottom, left, and right. The type is left-justified only—that means the left margin is straight, but the right margin is ragged. Each paragraph is indented five spaces. It is best to use the tab key to indent, since five spaces on the computer is different from five spaces on a typewriter. The line spacing is double throughout the paper, even on the reference page. Two spaces are used after punctuation. The font style used in this template is Times New Roman and the font size is 12, which is now required in APA 6th edition.

First Heading (Introduction)

The heading above would be used if you want to have your paper divided into sections based on content. This is the first level of heading, and it is centered and bolded with each word of four letters or more capitalized. The heading should be a short descriptor of the section. Note that not all papers will have headings or subheadings in them.

First Subheading

The subheading above would be used if there are several sections within the topic labeled in a heading. The subheading is flush left and bolded, with each word of four letters or more capitalized.

Second Subheading

APA dictates that you should avoid having only one subsection heading and subsection within a section. In other words, use at least two subheadings under a main heading, or do not use any at all.

Conclusion

Wrap up major points in a few sentences.

When you are ready to write, and after having read these instructions completely, you can delete these directions and start typing. The formatting should stay the same. However, one item that you will have to change is the page header, which is placed at the top of each page along with the page number. The words included in the page header should be reflective of the title of your paper, so that if the pages are intermixed with other papers they will be identifiable. When using Word 2003 at a minimum, double click on the words in the page header. This should enable you to edit the words. You should not have to edit the page numbers.

In addition to spacing, APA style includes a special way of citing resource articles. See the APA manual for specifics regarding in-text citations. The APA manual also discusses the desired tone of writing, grammar, punctuation, formatting for numbers, and a variety of other important topics. Although the APA style rules are used in this template, the purpose of the template is only to demonstrate spacing and the general parts of the paper. The student will need to refer to the APA manual for other format directions. A sample reference page is included below; however, this page includes special spacing and formatting. The examples on the following page include examples taken directly from the APA manual.
