In completing this assignment, you will learn how to define and describe a technical object to someone who has little knowledge with it.<\/p>\n<p>Assignment Guidelines Begin by reviewing Gurak &amp; Lannon, Chapter 12: Descriptions. You will choose your own topic for this assignment. However, the subject of your description should be a technical object (e.g., fitness tracker, flash drive, wrench, clock radio, calculator, smart phone, game console, stapler, etc.). Because you must accurately describe an object with 750-1000 words, do not pick something too simple (such as a paper clip) or too complex (such as a John Deere tractor). Choose a topic that is complex and manageable. Once you have identified a technical object, research it. Take time to learn about what the parts are called and how they work. This might require you to read background information or otherwise inform yourself about the topic.<\/p>\n<p>Audience and Content Your primary audience would be someone who has little experience with the object that you are describing.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the object, your final paper should have 750-1000 words; you must include all of the following contents in your description: \u0095 Introduction.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Orient your audience by providing a one-sentence definition of the object. \u0095 Preview its various parts. \u0095 Discuss its uses and functions. \u0095 Preview the content of your description.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Detailed Description of the Object.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Describe each part of the object in detail, including its dimensions, materials, principle(s) of operation, function, and relation to other parts.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Use the present tense.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 When introducing a new concept or terminology, make sure to explain it for a non-technical audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Re-state the major use(s) and function(s) of the object to solicit the audience\u0092s support or awareness.<\/p>\n<p>2 Warning Against Copying Descriptions!<\/p>\n<p>You should write the descriptions yourself. DO NOT simply copy descriptions you found elsewhere and cite the source. If you do, Unicheck will detect and report the exact words, phrases, and sentences that are copied and will show the original sources.<\/p>\n<p>We have been working with SafeAssign for many years and we know that it is an effective and reliable tool in detecting plagiarism.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, it is NOT acceptable to copy existing descriptions and then cite the sources.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the idea of this assignment. The idea is that YOU will write a technical object description\u0097this maybe something that you are familiar with, or something that you have learned and can express in your own words. You are still allowed to consult secondary sources, if necessary. But do make sure that you are writing the descriptions yourself.<\/p>\n<p>If you transcribe (copy) descriptions you found elsewhere, you cannot get a 60 or above on this assignment, even if you cite the sources in APA.<\/p>\n<p>If portions (or the entirety) of your paper are copied from other sources without proper APA documentation, your assignment will receive a 0, and the plagiarism case will be reported to UTA Office of Student Conduct.<\/p>\n<p>Document Design and Illustrations Give careful thought to illustrations and design elements:<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Use headings and sub-headings throughout the document. Mark the introduction, body, and conclusion of your document with headings; and use sub-headings to<\/p>\n<p>indicate the beginning of each part\/component of the objective you are describing.<\/p>\n<p>DO NOT just throw together a large chunk of texts without clearly identifying each<\/p>\n<p>part. \u0095 Single-space the text.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 You must include at least two illustrations. You may create your own, use illustrations from other sources, or adapt illustrations from other sources. Make<\/p>\n<p>sure you provide source information for all illustrations immediately below each<\/p>\n<p>illustration. (For example, for any photos you took: \u0093Source: photo by author.\u0094 For<\/p>\n<p>any illustrations from other sources: \u0093Source: web site (or other resource listed<\/p>\n<p>here).\u0094<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Apply as many of the four basic design principles as possible (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, Proximity).<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Design your document for consistency (grid patterns, margins, justification, white space, indentation, font style and size). See pages 136-140.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Design your document for navigation and emphasis (headings, color, shading, boldface, italic, and underlining, bulleted and numbered lists). See pages 140-145.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Follow the tips for illustrating documents presented in Chapters 7.<\/p>\n<p>3<\/p>\n<p>Submission \u0095 Your final paper should have 750-1000 words and should be single-spaced.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 Submit your Word file via Unicheck. No assignments will be accepted over email. \u0095 Required title for Word file: your last name-description. For example, my file name<\/p>\n<p>should be: Pearman-description.docx.<\/p>\n<p>\u0095 See Course Calendar for important due dates.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project 4: Technical Object Description Assignment Overview ENGL2338: Technical Writing Department of English University of Texas at Arlington This assignment asks that you select a technical object and write a description of its looks, features, and functions.
