This assignment involved comparing two potential solutions to a problem and recommending the best solution to a specific audience. I chose to compare building new dormatories and allowing freshmen to live off campus as solutions to the University Park on-campus housing shortage according to the critera of cost, physical space, and social impact.
This paper involved extensive research with the housing department on campus, the Office of the Physical Plant, housing departments at other universities, and the Residence Life program at Penn State. Additional internet research was conducted to determine the feasibility of the proposed solutions.
The recommendation report contains the following sections: Executive Summary, Introduction and Problem Statement, Description of Alternative Solutions, Solution Criteria, Evaluation of Proposed Solutions, Conclusions, and Recommendation.
NOTE: While the majority of information included in this report is accurate based on my research, some estimates were made for the sake of the assignment. Do not use this information as a basis for an proposing an actual solution to this problem without further research. Many other possible solutions to the on-campus housing shortage were excluded for the assignment.

This assignment involved researching a technical device or process and describing it to a specific audience. I chose to write my technical description on digital cameras. This brochure is targetted at people who are currently using film cameras and are considering the switch to digital.
The brochure covers: “What Do I Need to Know?”, “What is a Digital Camera?”, “What are the Benefits of Digital Cameras?”, “How Do Digital Cameras Work?”, “What are the Types of Digital Cameras?”, “How do Digital Cameras Act Over Time?”, and “Who Should Use Digital Cameras?”. This brochure makes use of diagrams, tables, photos, definitions, and lists to clearly present the material to the reader.

This paper is an instruction set that tells a user how to create their first webpage. The goal of this assignment was to determine an audience for an instruction set and to detail instructions for a task that this audience wants to perform. I chose to target my instructions on how to make your first website to small business owners who want to increase the visibility of their company.
The instruction set includes: terms to know, things you’ll need, time required, warnings, what you’ll learn, before you begin notices, steps to create your website, and troubleshooting tips.
