	#1Submitted by mrc3731 on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 17:14. Instructions Project Would you advise us to do this project on something we are very well informed on or on something we might not know everything about but are interested in? Why?


	#2Submitted by kirastef on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 17:20. Audience For this project, does it matter which audiences we pick to write for, or can we choose any two?


	#3Submitted by TylerHeff on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 17:49. No comprende What are some of the past successful projects your students have done? Are there any common problems associated with this?


	#4Submitted by lng3504 on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 18:45. Format? What format for presentation has been the most successful in the past? (audio, video, written)


	#5Submitted by NY Kid on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 21:19. detail How far do we need to go into detail on the instructions?


	#6Submitted by steve on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 21:27. target audience I am confused about the two different audiences the instructions are to address. Could you give examples of two specific audiences that would need two distinct sets of instructions?


	#7Submitted by djs9018 on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 22:53. What are the two audiences What are the two audiences and what primary differences will be expected of the two instruction sets?


	#8Submitted by onsw on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 23:52. Scale I am unclear so far on how to properly address the different audiences in a meaningful way rather than just cut down our simplifying. Is one just a set "for dummies" and the other for pros?


	#9Submitted by jlrwriting on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 02:43. Formatting Can the formatting of the instructions be more loose depending on the audience/product?


	#10Submitted by regularguy5mb on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 04:31. Having Fun with Subject Matter I was curious how much leeway we would have in choosing a topic for our instructions. For example, could we write a set of instructions for operating your new teleporter?


	#11Submitted by yohan taber on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 08:54. Instruction Project What is some more information that can describe the usability tests that are to be turned in.


	#12Submitted by eausauvage on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 09:35. Instructions - Question Could you explain in details what "non-trivial and of genuine utility" mean for this project ? Thank you


	#13Submitted by Smudge on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 09:40. 2 sets Are two sets of instructions often produced in real life? For what reasons, and are they published together? Examples?


	#14Submitted by kk2490 on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 10:06. Not a group project this time? So are we doing this project on our own this time?


	#15Submitted by oohhhcouture on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 10:17. Audience I'm a little confused on what two audiences we are striving to write to. Could we clarify this further?


	#16Submitted by ajpa08 on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 10:21. Instructions Question Should we choose a topic we know a lot about or something that we don't know a lot about?
