Topic outline

  • Time to get started with Week 1 of this course! :)

    First, review our weekly course schedule to know what is coming up and due when.

    After that, read through the Assignment 1 instructions, sample report and complete the two quizzes related to the text.

    By next week, you should prepare your own preliminary outline for the report that you write in this course. Use the outline template provided. (The final report is about 800-1200 words total.)

    • Upload your preliminary report outline here. The outline helps you to plan your document, and the teacher can more easily see your plans in an outline than full text. She'll comment on whether the topic itself is feasible for such a report.

    • Read this sample report first.

    • Before attempting this exercise, read through the Feasibility Report on Tablet Computers: Comparison and Recommendation (pdf). In this exercise, you have been presented with an outline (a kind of table of contents) for Sections 1. introduction and 2. Tablets Computers in the report. Your task is to identify the function of each sentence(s) in this report.

      About outlines, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_(list)

      The exercise allows you to redo each question many times, if needed, and removes only the incorrect answers within each try.
