1. This paper involves instructions for assembly, installation, repair, or how-to-use some device or apparatus. The report is for one of those.
2. Please select some device or apparatus and create a set of assembly, installation, repair, or how-to-use instructions. These instructions start with background information on the device or apparatus. In many instructions, the sequence of events is very important. Please consider the sequence to make it efficient.
3. Pictures or diagrams are good. However, pieces and parts have to be labeled if you refer to them in your instructions. You also can’t just say “make it look like the picture or assemble as shown”.
4. When you have your instructions complete, try them out on a least two people to see if they are able to complete the task based only on the instructions. If they have difficulty, it means that the instructions were incomplete or confusing.
5. Write a short paragraph on what happened when each person tried to use your instructions. Was it easy or hard, did they assemble/install/repair/use it correctly? If there were any problems, please explain the difficulty and then revise your instructions as needed. Specify the relationship of each person to you, i.e. friend, spouse, sibling, etc.
6. Due to the nature of the report you probably won’t have sources to cite. However, if you do, please cite them appropriately and include excerpts from the sources..
