The document provides guidance for students on the requirements and structure of a final year project proposal. It explains that the proposal is the first of three written phases, followed by a progress report and final report. The proposal should follow a specific structure, including a title page, table of contents, introduction, methodology, project planning, hardware/software requirements, references, and appendices. It provides examples and explanations of the content expected for each section, such as stating the project objectives and goals in the introduction and describing the project timeline in a Gantt chart for the project planning section. Guidelines are also given for properly citing references and formatting a references list.

ETF1100 Business Statistics Group Assignment – 2021S1 BetseyCalderon89
ETF1100 Business Statistics
Group Assignment – 2021S1
A. How it works
• This project will be undertaken in small groups and involve analysing a data set using the
approaches to quantitative problems you have learnt in this unit.
• The final product will be a set of presentation slides which you will submit via Moodle by Friday
11pm on 14 May 2021 (the end of Week 10). A penalty of 10% per day applies for late
submissions. The assignment should contain no more than 15 slides.
• The slides should show, in an interesting way, the main things you have done and learned in
addressing the main question of the assignment. Usually, you would present these slides to
your workshop members and tutor. However, given there is some uncertainty around COVID-
19, and we have students in Melbourne and overseas, you will not actually present the slides
this semester.
• The assignment is structured such that it gives groups some freedom to explore the problem
in ways they see fit. There is no single correct answer for the assignment. It is a research project
and different groups will approach things differently. This is encouraged.
• Students have been put in groups based on their preferences. All group members will generally
be enrolled in the same workshop. There will be around 5 members in each group (though
some groups may have more or less members than this). You should get in touch with your
group members, organise to meet regularly and share ideas and the workload. It can be
challenging, but also rewarding, to work in groups. The assignment is aimed at building your
groupwork experience as well as fostering contact with your peers in this unit. If you find you
are not in a group, then contact us as soon as possible. Also, it is possible that some of your
allocated group members may have dropped the unit, or you may find that your group
members may not be entirely cooperative. If you email someone and do not get a response,
then proceed with the remaining group members.
• All group members must contribute to the assignment. There will be an opportunity to give
feedback on the contributions of other members of your group, and this feedback will be used
when allocating an individual’s final mark for this assessment. If you do not participate fully in
the assignment, and cooperate with your group members, then you should expect your grade
to be adjusted downwards as a result.
• The project is worth 18% of your final mark and your grade will depend on the quality and
content of your presentation slides as well as your participation in the assignment. See the
marking guide at the end of this document.
• You will receive written feedback on the assignment. In addition, we will run a workshop where
the tutor will talk through each of the assignments submitted by groups in the workshop. This
will provide useful feedback to you. It will also to be helpful, I think, to see how others
approached the exercise.

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 bo.

What is technical writing, and how does it fit into your content marketing strategy? Businesses with specialized products and services typically need to hire technical writers to create customer-friendly documents.
One motivating factor for this is that you can reduce support costs and enhance the client experience through easy-to-follow guides and manuals.
Simplifying sophisticated concepts for audiences of different knowledge levels is a specialized task. Technical writers transform material often considered dry into engaging content that informs, attracts, and retains customers.
Technical writers apply their deep understanding to convey complex information to a defined audience. They write user guides, case studies, white papers, blogs, marketing materials, and other types of content.
A good report is easy to recognize. Its title is precise and informative and its format logical to the reader, with headings to indicate the content of each section. Diagrams are well-presented and clearly labelled. There are no absolute rules on report production because every report must be adapted to the needs of its reader. This guide, however, suggests that there are laws of good report writing which should be generally applied. If participants keep these rules in mind; their reports are more likely to attract readers, directing them towards relevant, clear information and steer them towards the desired response. Taking shortcuts to save time and money are counterproductive if the reader is left confused by the report or decides it’s too difficult to work out what you are trying to say.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Fyp proposal writing
1. 1
Final Year Project
The FYP is as it sounds; a year-long project that evolves
through three written phases:
the Proposal
the Progress Report
the Final Report
At the end of the cycle, you are also required to give a
presentation of your work and to construct a poster.
The proposal should be typed using Times New Roman
font (size 12) with double spacing on one side of A4 sized
paper. Allow 1.5in (38mm) margin on the left and 1.0in
margin elsewhere.
2. • For the three written phases of the project, it is important
to realize that each is derived from the phase before it.
Thus, there is a lot of thinking, planning, and writing
involved in putting together the Proposal.
• The Progress Report evolves from the Proposal -- it
should not be a completely new document. Far too many
students spend an exorbitant amount of time reinventing
the wheel, drafting completely new introductions for their
Progress Report and their FYP.
• Work smart -- put time and effort into thinking and
reading about your topic at the Proposal phase. Then,
when coming to the Progress Report and the FYP, break
the information down into three subgroups:
2
3. • information that is > 50% new
• information that is < 50% new
• information that can be recycled
• This will provide a logical plan regarding how your
3
team should prioritize writing time
4. 4
Proposal
• Structure
– Title Page
– Table of Contents
– Introduction
– Methodology
– Project Planning
– Hardware and Software Requirements
– References
– Appendices
7. 7
Introduction
• gives the project a context
• explains why the project is important
• states what the FYP aims to accomplish and how
• provides objectives
• identifies possible problems or complications
• is written for a non-specialist
8. • Example:
• Gaming, as both a cultural phenomenon and a lucrative global business [why the
project is important], has enjoyed enormous success over the past five years. With
this increase in popularityhas come a demand for more sophisticated 3D modeling.
[context] The push in the industry is for smoother, seamless graphics. [problem] For
this project, we will design a software program intended to greatly enhance the
capabilities of 3D Studio Max to produce more realistic graphics. [state what the
proposal aims to accomplish and how]
• Think of your objectives as what you want to accomplish and what
you need to learn [software packages, algorithms]
8
– What is your project objective?
– Describe the scope of your project
– Describe how you are going to achieve your objective
• What are the problems that you will address and why?
• What are your goals? What can you deliver?
• What are the technical challenges and how do you plan to overcome
these?
9. • Example:
• For all its strengths, GPS has two related weaknesses:
signal reception and the accuracy of local information.
Overcoming these weaknesses would greatly enhance
its performance, thereby stimulating a new generation in
GPS technology and design [1]. We will create an
algorithm that addresses the problem of local positioning
[1] while...
• In this project, we will achieve the following goals: X, Y
and Z [2].To achieve the first goal, we will review the
literature on algorithm design and....[3] The technical
challenges involved in reaching this first goal are...[3]

10. 10
Methodology
• Begin your methodology with a clear description of what
you were doing during the summer: literature survey/
feasibility study and/or a critical review. You do not
need to address all the questions below, just the ones
that are relevant to your project.
• What is the history of your project topic?
• What are experts in the field discussing that relates to
your topic?
• What are the trade-offs?
• What is the latest research?
• What is the state-of-the-art in your project area?
11. 11
Example
• Design - Figure out what the sub-problems are and what approach to take or what
theory to investigate.
• theory based
• conceptual
• Implementation - Build it
• tools?
• technical skills based
• Testing - How are you going to ensure that it [the program/ game/ etc.] works
correctly? [black box/ white box/ regression testing]
• look at the project from a micro level
• include experiments
• look at system results
• test each part of the system
• make sure that design and implementation work
• Evaluation - Evaluate your results relative to your stated objective:
• look at the project from a macro level
• measure performance
• compare your system/model with one or more (a) baseline systems/models, and/or
(b) similar competing systems/models
12. 12
Project Planning
• All projects require planning including an outline
of who in the team is doing what and when; thus,
you will need to include a Gantt chart.
• A Gantt chart is constructed with a horizontal axis representing the total time span of the
project, broken down into increments (for example, days, weeks, or months) and a vertical
axis representing the tasks that make up the project (for example, if the project is
outfitting your computer with new software, the major tasks involved might be: conduct
research, choose software, install software). Horizontal bars of varying lengths represent
the sequences, timing, and time span for each task. Using the same example, you would
put "conduct research" at the top of the verticle axis and draw a bar on the graph that
represents the amount of time you expect to spend on the research, and then enter the
other tasks below the first one and representative bars at the points in time when you
expect to undertake them. The bar spans may overlap, as, for example, you may conduct
research and choose software during the same time span. As the project progresses,
secondary bars, arrowheads, or darkened bars may be added to indicate completed tasks,
or the portions of tasks that have been completed. A vertical line is used to represent the
report date.
14. Citations and References
• Throughout the paper, you must provide citations
whenever you paraphrase and/or summarize someone
else's ideas and when you use a direct quote. The
citation style preferred by the COMP department is the
number system.
• Not providing citations hurts your team and your work in
several ways. First, it makes your team look like a bunch
of amateurs. Second, it discredits your work. Third,
providing no citations equals plagiarism-the academic
equivalent to robbery. Examples of what constitutes
plagiarism.

15. 15
References
• Under the Harvard System, references are made by
giving the author's surname together with the year of
publication. In the text, the year of publication appears
within parentheses after the author's surname if the latter
forms part of a sentence; for examples, Ch'ng (1986) or
Saleh and Zainuddin (1987) or, where there are more
than two authors, Nagendran et.al (1990).
• In contrast, both the author's surname and the year of
publication appear within parentheses if the author's
surname does not form aprt of a sentence; for example:
(Omar & Tan, 1989).
16. • At the end of the thesis, all the references cited are listed
in alphabetical order.
• There is no necessity to number the references.
References to periodicals should be listed as follows:
• aauthors' surnames and initials (instead of first author
et.al), year of publication in parentheses, exact title of
paper, contracted title of periodical in italics (or
underlined), volume number in Arabic figures double
underline (or in bold print), initial and final page numbers
of article. For example:
• Kalotas, T.M. & Lee, A.R. (1990). A simple device to
illustrate angular momentum conservation and instability.
Am. J. Phys. 58(1), 80-81.

17. • In the Harvard System, the titles of books are in italics
followed by the town and publisher. For example:
• Conn, E.E., Stumpf, P.K., Bruening, G. & Doi, R.H.
(1987). Outlines ofBiochemistry, 3th edn.New York: John
Wiley & Sons.
