When you submit this homework, I will be taking off points if you do not follow the defined naming scheme of the file. I will also be taking points if it is not in pdf format. These are simple requirements that should be free points to you in the future. If you are having issues saving/converting to pdf, please try Google. Google is your friend and will be an invaluable source to you for the rest of your life. A little hint to make sure you got it done correctly, once you upload the file on mycourses, download it and open it. If it doesn't open in pdf, then you know you have an issue. If you be proactive in what you turn in, you will save precious points in the future. Thanks, ~David -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Sept. 28 Hello all, The Shackouls Technical Communication Program invites you to its fall Shackouls Speaker Series Event on Monday, September 28, 2009 from 5:30-8:00 p.m. in McCool 124 (the Taylor Auditorium). Our virtual guest this year will be Roger Boisjoly , a 30-plus-year veteran of the U.S. aerospace industry, a former engineer at Morton-Thiokol, Inc., and the man often described as the whistleblower of the space shuttle Challenger disaster. Because Mr. Boisjoly no longer travels for lectures, this event will consist of two parts: 1. A showing of Mr. Boisjoly?s presentation An Ethics Case Study ? The Chronological Presentation of the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster (on DVD) 2. A question-and-answer session via telephone with Mr. Boisjoly directly following the presentation The Online Ethics Center at the National Academy of Engineering maintains an excellent series of pages devoted to Roger Boisjoly?s work before, during, and after the Challenger disaster; the direct link is http://www.onlineethics.org/cms/7123.aspx . Refreshments will be available starting at 5:00 p.m.; the presentation itself will start at 5:30 p.m., and the entire event should be over by 8:00 p.m. We hope you and your students will attend what promises to be an informative and engaging evening.
