The third part you need to include in Project 2 is a set of step-by-step instructions for how to complete a task. Your instructions will include a list of required materials, details on the steps to be completed, and any troubleshooting tips or advice. Today we’ll go over how to write this section of your paper.

• We will go over information about Writing Instructions.
• We will look at several example descriptions and talk about what they do well and how they might be improved:
  1. Virginia Tech – ROLM 751 DIGITAL CBX, Faculty / Staff Telephone Quick Reference
  2. Employer’s Accident Report Instructions
  3. Instructions on how to pay the $3000 deposit
  4. Join Virginia Tech’s McNair Listserv
  5. PlantSimLab Basic Tutorial
• We’ll end with the in-class writing. Go to “Tests & Quizzes” in Scholar and complete today’s assignment, “02/28 Instructions.” As usual, you have until 5 PM tomorrow (3/1) to finish your work.
