Work for August 3

• Continue working on Project 4. You will submit a progress report tomorrow, explaining what you have done so far and outlining what you still need to do. Remember to use the Genre Analysis Examples to guide your work.

• After you read the examples and the information on progress reports in the textbook, post any questions you have about writing a report on your progress on Project 4 in the Questions about Project 4 thread. By 11:55 PM tomorrow (Tuesday, 8/4), you will post your progress report in the forums. Instructions for posting your progress report will be available in tomorrow’s post. Please wait for these instructions to ensure your progress report is posted in the right place.

• Review the Forum Posts & Participation page and assess where you stand for your participation grade. There are only 12 days until the end of the course, so if your participation numbers are not where you want them to be, you need to act now. There is an optional forum on Ethics and Technical Writing with a number of posts you can contribute to if desired. Note that the quantity requirements for participation will not change.
