Instruction Manual Assignment Introduction In Unit 1: Foundations of Technical Communication, you will create a set of reader-centric instructions for building a Lego model of your own design using process-driven principles of technical communication. For this project, you will use a variety of communication modes including haptics or the perception of touch, proprioception, and manipulation of objects. While this project introduces you to the revision process at the heart of most if not all technical communication, it gives you a set of composition principles that you can adapt to your own needs and purposes in the workplace. The deliverables of this project include: • A proposal memo for creating a set of instructions for your Lego model design • A draft set of instructions for building your Lego model design • A memo reporting the findings of your instruction set usability testing • A revised set of instructions for building your Lego model design • A memo reflecting on how your instructions are reader-centric, how you created your instructions using a process, and how your instructions manage complexity. Your audience for this project should be your manager, who has tasked you with creating a marketing tool (the Lego set) for your company. To receive credit for this project, you must complete and submit all assigned deliverables. NOTE: • It is an email memo format • Make sure you include bullets point in your memo • You can include you email at the end of your memo; to look more original • You can include cost, department, trademark in your memo; to look more original • Your subject should be clear • Avoid the use of “I”. for example; I feel, I would like, I suggest. You are the person writing the memo and it is already implied. See the schedule below for all due dates for drafts and final deliverables. Step 1, Create your Lego model Using approximately 50 of your Lego bricks, build a model of a technology that in some way connects to your field of study or major interests. Take a photo of your model (make sure that your image is well lit, easy to see, and in focus), name it lastname.firstname.unit1.model.jpg and submit it to OpenLab under Assignments. Step 2, Write a proposal memo for creating a set of instructions Following the proposal memo format from the previous project, write a proposal for creating a set of instructions for building your Lego model that would be included with the model (printed sheet of instructions, printed poster, a YouTube video, a self-built website, something insanely innovative, etc.). Your proposal should not over deliver, because you will have to create the set of instructions within the time allowed for this project. Your proposal should include a description of your approach to the instructions, a description of one usability test with a representative set of customers/clients, and an explanation of your revision following testing. Name your proposal lastname.firstname.unit1.proposal.docx and submit it to OpenLab under Assignments. Step 3, Follow Your Proposal: Build Instructions, Test, Revise Using hand drawing, photography, videography, 3D modeling (LDRAW: http://www.ldraw.org, LIC: http://code.google.com/p/lic/, Lego Digital Designer: http://ldd.lego.com/en-us/download/), or something unprecedented and innovative, create a set of instructions that you believe anticipates the needs of your reader/user to easily and efficiently build your model. Name your instructions as lastname.firstname.unit1.instructions-draft.[appropriate extension] or copy a link to its location online. Submit your draft instructions to OpenLab under Assignments. Bring printouts of your instructions or a way of showing it to your test audience on the two days allocated for testing and interviews. You will trade instructions/Legos with one (or two) other persons during class. After building one another’s models, you will conduct a short interview and note the time taken to build the model. Write a brief memo summarizing your usability testing. This should include data collected from your interview and the time taken by each test user to build the model. Describe what you will do to revise your instruction set. Name this memo lastname.firstname.unit1.usability-memo.docx and upload to OpenLab under Assignments. Begin your instruction set revisions for your final deliverable submission. Your final revisions should add the professional polish that your instruction set deserves to represent your best work and the work indicative of your client’s brand. Step 4, Reflect on the project Finally, write a one page memo that serves as a reflection on the project, the process that you used, and any issues that you overcome during the process. Also, discuss how you are using multimodal synergy in your final, professional Lego instructions. Name this file lastname.firstname.unit1.reflection.docx. Step 5, Submit your project deliverables Before class the due date, submit all components and deliverables for this project. Submit all drafts and parts already submitted again to the final project assignment on OpenLab. Save all of your work—including anything online (such as on YouTube)—and submit it using

Describe the concepts: Which “rule” of Admiral McRaven’s speech resonated most strongly with you–and why? What element of personal power do you find most challenging to manage in your own life — and why? If you were working as a field-level Criminal Justice supervisor.

As we move into our third module in this course you will delve into the area of personal integrity, self-reliance, and application of these concepts to the Criminal Justice arena. To begin, review each of the videos and readings provided below. Once you ave reviewed these, use the discussion board to prepare a short essay focused on the following concepts: Which “rule” of Admiral McRaven’s speech resonated most strongly with you–and why? What element of personal power do you find most challenging to manage in your own life — and why? If you were working as a field-level Criminal Justice supervisor, how might you apply the rules and concept presented above to foster an environment where discipline could be applied positively, fairly and appropriately within your organization (for both superiors and subordinates)? Again, I am looking for a short essay (approx. 3-4 paragraphs) that addresses each of these aspects in a clear a concise manner tied to the videos and readings. I would encourage you to cite your sources (preferably in APA style) when appropriate. Once you have submitted your essay on the discussion board, select at least one of your classmates’ responses that resonates strongly with you–positively or negatively, and provide feedback on their posting as well.

Week 2 Business Research Project Part 1
This paper will focus on how Company Z’s innovation in the U.S. would affect the organization as a leader in the new technology, its expected return on investment (ROI), based on the outcome of the innovation in relation to the public, and government perceptions. In this research, the independent variables are the results of the innovation in relation to the public and government perceptions. Thus, the primary aim is to identify how public, and government perspective affect the expected ROI of the Company Z.
One of the effects of the innovation to the organization as a leader in the new technology and its expected ROI is that there will be an increase in the ROI and the general expansion of the firm. This is from the fact that, this innovation in driverless (autonomous) automobile car will solve old problems (Kleis, Chwelos, Ramirez & Cockburn, 2012). This can probably happen when there is market adoption and also public acceptance. In particular, there will be a positive correlation between the ROI and the public perception. The firm will expand due to the increase in the demand for the automated cars.
Page 2
Also, take in mind that the government has a great role to play in ensuring the success of the innovation. These roles include ensuring that there is an investment in human capital, improved infrastructure, and a continuous, up-to-date research. If this is well implemented, the firm’s innovation will blossom hence ensuring the company’s objectives are met (Kleis, Chwelos, Ramirez & Cockburn, 2012). If the government plays its role well, the organization will expand and consequently increasing the firm’s ROI.
To sum all up, the public and government perception has a role to play in ensuring the success of the innovation. In fact, there will be an increase in the rate of return on investment as the public and government perception increases towards the firm’s innovation.
Just like any industry one of the main dependent variable is profit. A dependent variable is a
variable that is being estimated and it is a result of the outcomes of independent variables.
Page 3
We have to rely on the government and consumers to determine what type of profit we expect to see. When considering the aspects of both consumer and government expectations the dependent variables are crucial. Nevertheless we are at the risk of the independent variable to determine the results of our dependent variables.
The proposed hypothesis is relative to how the U.S. government, its laws and regulations, and public perceptions, react to the driverless car, and in an effort to become a leading innovator in new automobile technologies, and increase market shares and returns on their investments (ROI), Company Z should allow the autonomous automobile should enter the U.S. market. These notions allow for thought on whether or not the innovation and introduction of Company Z’s driverless automobiles would make for a good investment here in the United States.
