  • Read Chapter 5—Ethics in the Technical Workplace in TCT (pages 115-116 omitted).
  • Post (by midnight tonight): Reading Response (300 word) on workplace ethics. Focus your response on the ethical component of the project you are currently working on or on one you have already completed (e.g. the instructions project). Use the terminology of the text to analyze the ethical situation of that work and the documents you produced. Make sure to reference the TCT discussion in your response.

  • Submit your five blog post comments.
  • Post (by midnight tonight): Thumbnails. Review the White Paper Project description for an explanation of this step. Thumbnail examples are available here (a more thorough, high scoring thumbnail) and here (a satisfactory, lower scoring thumbnail). To submit your thumbnail, attach it as a .pdf document to a blog post tagged with the appropriate "Thumbnail" tag and your group tag. To receive full credit, you must attach your file in .pdf format and not .doc format, and you must tag your content correctly with both tags.
  • In addition to posting your own thumbnails, provide feedback (in the form of 100 word comments) for each member of your group. You have until Friday at midnight to complete this feedback assignment. Use this feedback to negotiate the layout and design on the white paper your group will produce.

  • Post (by midnight Sunday) individual activity report. Remember that to receive full credit it must be at least 200 words long and tagged with the appropriate "Individual Activity Report" tag and your group tag.
