Directions…..

Assignment:
For today’s Lab, write an Activity Report (Links to an external site. “https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/subject_specific_writing/professional_technical_writing/activity_and_postmortem_reports/activity_reports.html” ); insure you have all relevant and required pieces of information for a fully developed piece. Use the formatted template below the prompt.

Prompt:
You are a “graduating” 100W student about to finish your 100W class. Having navigated most of the semester up to this point, you are being asked to reflect on what you have learned and advise future 100W students on the importance of dedicating their time and efforts to this course.

In the EPICS GreenTalk, Keith Perry focused on communication as a key skill for the real-world. He even cited the resume as a useful assignment and demonstrated several reasons why it holds merit. What other assignments have we done over the course of the semester that are of value to you and give you confidence that you can do a similar or better presentation should you choose to join the EPICS program?

Finally, your recommendation should explain your clear and specific advice for future 100W students.

Activity Report Format:
Your response must be in the form of an Activity Report, including “To, From, Subject and Date” headings, and span approximately 2 pages (no more than three pages). Conclude with a “Recommendation” heading. Times Roman/12-point font. Single-space with a blank line between paragraphs.
