2.8 Microcomputer report

The report must be original writing done for this class. The reports must be done with a word processor, and must be proof read. This should be done by the writing lab. All reference used must be cited completely. If a quote from someone else's work is used, it must give a complete citation. You may NOT paraphrase someone else's work and call it your own.

Plagiarism is not acceptable. If you plagiarize or copy the work of others you will receive full negative credit for the report.

The Learning Center is located West Campus Santa Catalina building (C),second floor, north end in room C217 (Hours: M-Th 8:00-6:00, F8:00-2:00 Phone: 206-6819). Please attach the marked up version of your document to the back of your final version. The Learning Center will, in addition to marking up your draft document, date and sign the first page and initial all of the other pages.

Please double space the draft of the report that you take to Learning Center. This will assist them in proof reading your report.

The length of the reports is expected to be between 3 and 6 pages each single spaced, 12 point type (Not counting cover sheets). If you run out of things to write about, please stop. It is the content that is important, not the length. If your report is much less than 3 pages, perhaps you need to do more research, or think a bit more about the book you just read.

Reports are due at the start of class. Failure to turn a report on time will result in the loss of 5% of your class grade per day it is late. Reports turned in late on the due date will be assessed a 5% penalty.

Possible topics for your report:

Note: Consider other microcomputer related topics.

Be sure to attach the proof read copy to your final report when you turn it in.

The report needs to include:  

Please simply staple the pages together. I do not want any plastic sleeves. Thanks. The written report is due Thursday December 2, 2004.

The class presentation needs to be scheduled with me. Please give me two weeks notice for when you expect to be ready.
