Multigenre Project
EN101O Fall 2019 Dr. Walter
A Multigenre Project (MGP) presents multiple, even
conflicting, perspectives on a topic in order to provide a rich
context and present an aesthetically appealing product for an
audience. Your MGP should reflect the following:
A focus: You should not only include documents that relate to a
general topic, but you should ensure that the documents work
towards a claim you are making about the topic.
A coherent organization/your entire MGP should be presented in
an umbrella genre that best fits your purpose. You should create
and organize documents in order to lead readers through the
project, to help them understand your focus and purpose.
Coherent organization will come out of the umbrella genre you
choose for the project. For example, creating a magazine as the
umbrella genre that includes articles, images, advertisements,
etc. with one focus will provide cohesion to the project.
Examples of how you might “package” the MGP include a CD, a
scrapbook, a photo album, a patient file, an employee handbook,
a manual, a newspaper, a magazine, a website—the options are
endless! Just be sure to provide a table of contents (TOC) that
offers an overview of and title for each document.
Look at some of the examples posted on D2L for concrete
depictions of how this can work.
The Multigenre Project includes at least 8 documents (including
an Introduction, Table of Contents, 5 documents of different
genres (not including your Introduction), and a works cited
page) that offer a sustained argument about your chosen issue.
By creating documents in different genres (e.g., editorials,
feature stories, brochures, short fiction, charts, scripts, etc.),
you learn to write for multiple audiences, multiple (rhetorical)
purposes, and multiple forums. All documents/text must be
original work you create for the MGP.
Your Introduction serves as a guide to readers, helping them
understand the issue you are addressing, offering insight about
why you chose the genres you chose, etc. The introduction is
your chance to help readers understand why this topic is
important, how they should “read” your documents, etc. The
introduction may be written as a letter to readers, a magazine
article, an editorial, etc.
The bulk of your MGP will be the five documents, each
representing a different genre, that helps persuade your
audience(s) to your point of view. Aim for a good balance of
genres, and be sure at least three of your documents directly use
the sources you have gathered from your research. By writing a
brochure that utilizes your research sources, a chart or other
visual, a story drawing from the information you have gathered,
a quiz based on researched sources, etc.—by approaching your
research findings in a creative way, your MGP helps an
audience understand many different perspectives about your
topic. Some of the documents you will include may be more
time-intensive than others. But the 5 documents that make up
the body of your MGP should show your knowledge, creativity,
and ability to persuade your audience(s) toward your main
claim/thesis.
The MGP should conclude with a Works Cited page. As you
cite sources for each document, your citation approach should
be appropriate for each genre. It is a rare ghost story, for
example, that includes parenthetical citation practices! But
there are creative ways to ensure that you a) give credit to the
source from which you draw information (e.g., discussing that
information in your introduction, using
endnotes/acknowledgment pages, etc.), and b) establish your
credibility as a writer who has conducted significant research to
support your opinion. Works Cited pages must be in MLA
format.
Restrictions: PowerPoints or other forms of “traditional”
presentations are not allowed as part of your MGP. Your MGP
must be self-contained in physical or digital format as one
cohesive work.
Research: For this project you are required to use four outside
sources. Two of these must be academic journal articles. For
any web source you use, you must complete the worksheet on
the CRAAP test (posted on D2L) and turn that in with your first
draft.
Annotated Bibliography: While you are required to use four
sources in the MGP, you will need to look at a minimum of six
sources for the Annotated Bibliography. An annotated
bibliography looks much like a Works Cited but has a paragraph
following each entry that tells the reader the topic of the source,
its main claim/thesis, and how you will use the source,
specifically, in your project. These paragraphs are known as
annotations. Each annotation should be a minimum of four
sentences. See D2L for examples of annotated bibliographies.
Proposal: Begin with an informal proposal for research. In this
proposal, you have an opportunity to think-in-writing about
your plans for your multigenre research. This is an informal
piece of writing about your research interests, the questions
guiding those interests, and the potential genre documents you
would like to produce. I will then give you feedback and
suggestions about your ideas and guide you in the right
direction for research. Your proposal should include: a list of 5
questions that might guide your research, an explanation of
WHY you are interested in this topic, ideas about primary and
secondary sources that might be useful. Ideas about genres you
are thinking about producing for your project (see list of
genres).
Due Dates:
Nov. 11: Proposal, Annotated Bibliography, and CRAAP Test
handout.
Nov. 22: Drafts of 2-5genres, Introduction, and Table of
Contents for project. Including your Works Cited will be
beneficial to you as well but not required. If any web sources
have been changed or added, a new CRAAP test handout is
required.

Digital imaging procedures are finding increasing application in
diagnostic cardiologist. As a result, a
display device has become an integral part of the diagnostic
cardiologist department. Efforts are
underway to investigate the suitability of high-resolution
display device for diagnosis by the cardiologist.
Initial results appear to be encouraging. Initial results show that
the display device falls short in key
performance features such as the maximum luminance, veiling
glare (scatter in the glass faceplate) that
reduces the modulation transfer, the number of resolvable
picture elements, which is smaller than the
number of addressable locations on the fluorescent screen,
spatial noise (phosphor granularity) is
limiting the low-contrast detectability, and dynamic range. With
neat diagram explain the construction
and operation of a display device.
3
The production engineer in Ibri chemical factory needs a
complete measurement setup to maintain the

The pressure mat is used to measure sitting discomfort in
aircraft passenger seats. The pressure mat
monitor real time surface pressure monitoring from the occupant
when seated. Piezo -resistive sensor is
used as a sensing element. The discrete pressure data is used to
map the pressure distribution from the
backrest and to compute the seat's cushion deflection and
corresponding backrest contour caused by the
passenger's weight. The sensor mat contains a total of 72
sensing elements arranged in an evenly
distributed pattern. The arrangement of the sensors focuses on 4
distinct areas of the backrest for an
aircraft passenger seat. Explain the importance of the
standardization procedure with particular attention
in increasing the repeatability of the measurements and
reducing drift and hysteresis in pressure mat.

Multigenre ProjectEN101O Fall 2019 Dr. WalterA Multigenre Pr.docx

  • 1. Multigenre Project EN101O Fall 2019 Dr. Walter A Multigenre Project (MGP) presents multiple, even conflicting, perspectives on a topic in order to provide a rich context and present an aesthetically appealing product for an audience. Your MGP should reflect the following: A focus: You should not only include documents that relate to a general topic, but you should ensure that the documents work towards a claim you are making about the topic. A coherent organization/your entire MGP should be presented in an umbrella genre that best fits your purpose. You should create and organize documents in order to lead readers through the project, to help them understand your focus and purpose. Coherent organization will come out of the umbrella genre you choose for the project. For example, creating a magazine as the umbrella genre that includes articles, images, advertisements, etc. with one focus will provide cohesion to the project. Examples of how you might “package” the MGP include a CD, a scrapbook, a photo album, a patient file, an employee handbook, a manual, a newspaper, a magazine, a website—the options are endless! Just be sure to provide a table of contents (TOC) that offers an overview of and title for each document. Look at some of the examples posted on D2L for concrete depictions of how this can work. The Multigenre Project includes at least 8 documents (including an Introduction, Table of Contents, 5 documents of different genres (not including your Introduction), and a works cited page) that offer a sustained argument about your chosen issue. By creating documents in different genres (e.g., editorials, feature stories, brochures, short fiction, charts, scripts, etc.), you learn to write for multiple audiences, multiple (rhetorical) purposes, and multiple forums. All documents/text must be original work you create for the MGP.
  • 2. Your Introduction serves as a guide to readers, helping them understand the issue you are addressing, offering insight about why you chose the genres you chose, etc. The introduction is your chance to help readers understand why this topic is important, how they should “read” your documents, etc. The introduction may be written as a letter to readers, a magazine article, an editorial, etc. The bulk of your MGP will be the five documents, each representing a different genre, that helps persuade your audience(s) to your point of view. Aim for a good balance of genres, and be sure at least three of your documents directly use the sources you have gathered from your research. By writing a brochure that utilizes your research sources, a chart or other visual, a story drawing from the information you have gathered, a quiz based on researched sources, etc.—by approaching your research findings in a creative way, your MGP helps an audience understand many different perspectives about your topic. Some of the documents you will include may be more time-intensive than others. But the 5 documents that make up the body of your MGP should show your knowledge, creativity, and ability to persuade your audience(s) toward your main claim/thesis. The MGP should conclude with a Works Cited page. As you cite sources for each document, your citation approach should be appropriate for each genre. It is a rare ghost story, for example, that includes parenthetical citation practices! But there are creative ways to ensure that you a) give credit to the source from which you draw information (e.g., discussing that information in your introduction, using endnotes/acknowledgment pages, etc.), and b) establish your credibility as a writer who has conducted significant research to support your opinion. Works Cited pages must be in MLA format. Restrictions: PowerPoints or other forms of “traditional” presentations are not allowed as part of your MGP. Your MGP must be self-contained in physical or digital format as one
  • 3. cohesive work. Research: For this project you are required to use four outside sources. Two of these must be academic journal articles. For any web source you use, you must complete the worksheet on the CRAAP test (posted on D2L) and turn that in with your first draft. Annotated Bibliography: While you are required to use four sources in the MGP, you will need to look at a minimum of six sources for the Annotated Bibliography. An annotated bibliography looks much like a Works Cited but has a paragraph following each entry that tells the reader the topic of the source, its main claim/thesis, and how you will use the source, specifically, in your project. These paragraphs are known as annotations. Each annotation should be a minimum of four sentences. See D2L for examples of annotated bibliographies. Proposal: Begin with an informal proposal for research. In this proposal, you have an opportunity to think-in-writing about your plans for your multigenre research. This is an informal piece of writing about your research interests, the questions guiding those interests, and the potential genre documents you would like to produce. I will then give you feedback and suggestions about your ideas and guide you in the right direction for research. Your proposal should include: a list of 5 questions that might guide your research, an explanation of WHY you are interested in this topic, ideas about primary and secondary sources that might be useful. Ideas about genres you are thinking about producing for your project (see list of genres). Due Dates: Nov. 11: Proposal, Annotated Bibliography, and CRAAP Test handout. Nov. 22: Drafts of 2-5genres, Introduction, and Table of Contents for project. Including your Works Cited will be beneficial to you as well but not required. If any web sources have been changed or added, a new CRAAP test handout is required.

Choose a suitable meter for the measurement of various electrical quantities and explain it with neat diagram. 2 Digital imaging procedures are finding increasing application in diagnostic cardiologist. As a result, a display device has become an integral part of the diagnostic cardiologist department. Efforts are underway to investigate the suitability of high-resolution display device for diagnosis by the cardiologist. Initial results appear to be encouraging. Initial results show that the display device falls short in key performance features such as the maximum luminance, veiling glare (scatter in the glass faceplate) that reduces the modulation transfer, the number of resolvable picture elements, which is smaller than the number of addressable locations on the fluorescent screen, spatial noise (phosphor granularity) is limiting the low-contrast detectability, and dynamic range. With neat diagram explain the construction and operation of a display device.

Choose a negative temperature coefficient sensor and explain its construction and operation with neat diagram. 4 The pressure mat is used to measure sitting discomfort in aircraft passenger seats. The pressure mat monitor real time surface pressure monitoring from the occupant when seated. Piezo -resistive sensor is used as a sensing element. The discrete pressure data is used to map the pressure distribution from the backrest and to compute the seat's cushion deflection and corresponding backrest contour caused by the passenger's weight. The sensor mat contains a total of 72 sensing elements arranged in an evenly distributed pattern. The arrangement of the sensors focuses on 4 distinct areas of the backrest for an aircraft passenger seat. Explain the importance of the standardization procedure with particular attention in increasing the repeatability of the measurements and
