Assignment Description
For this assignmentyou will develop a handout for first-year students in your field [Civil Engineering][ATTACHED BELOW]. The purpose of this handout is to persuade them that the competencies they will gain from the required probability and statistics course are essential to their professional future. It will include two sections. In the first section, you will describe and define aspects of the work in your field for which probability and statistics are required. Then you will discuss how probability and statistics tools enable each aspect of the work. In the second section you will develop a written argument discussing data presented in a table to suggest to them this proficiency will help them (and you) get a job upon graduation.
Assignment Elements
Element 1: Download Document Format to use.
Use the template provided for the field (Civil Engineering) you are in [ATTACHED BELOW]. Review the provided example [ATTACHED BELOW] see how the final document should look. Pay attention to the consistency of your document–uses of font, color, line spacing, indentation, and header and footers including page numbers . Neat and well-thought-out documents are more readable and are thus an important part of completing professional work.
[You may opt to change the header image if you do not like the one, I selected, but it must fill the space as the current one does. If you change it, you must also change the title font color and bar at the bottom to match the colors in the new header.]
Element 2: Develop Your Document
Your document purpose is to persuade first year students in your field of the importance of probability and statistics to your field (department or program). The linked example [ATTACHED BELOW] provides an example of content and the required appearance of the document. The tone of this document is to be professional, but accessible. Editing your work is a necessary step for assuring you have a well written document. Important elements of this include:
- Flow
- Using topic sentences in each section.
- Using section headers and sub-headers, as identified below, and shown in the example document.
- Consistent document layout. Colors and fonts must be used consistently in the document.
You will include the following sections with section titles as stated:
- A Document Title. Document titles must briefly and precisely indicate the topic of the document. Ideally, it is also something that will catch the readers attention. This does not require a section header.
- Introduction. The introduction must accomplish the following:
- Introduces the audience to the topic and its importance. Given the audience you are writing to, first-person is appropriate, as it is your experience as a more advanced student that makes you credible. Consider as you finalize your introduction, that the USF students you are writing to are diverse in many ways, including in age, life/professional experience, and cultural background. You must speak to all of them, not just to the ones that are like you.
- Includes a thesis statement that makes the primary claim you will argue in this handout and what you will say about it.
- States how you will use the document to support your argument.
- Present this in a concise, clear paragraph that makes the reader want to read your handout.
After you complete the body of your document, review your introduction to make sure it accurately states what you accomplished with the document. Revise the document as needed to make sure the introduction and the document body work together.
- The Use of Statistics in [Your Field]*. Using the information that you found in the preliminary phase of this assignment [PROVIDED BELOW], develop this section. This section will start with an introductory paragraph giving students an overview of the different work aspects you will address. This is followed by 2-3 subsections (with sub-titles) describing the specific aspects of work for which statistics are used and then discussing specifically how probability or statistics enables the work to be accomplished. This section must have in-text citations to demonstrate you have researched the topic using credible sources.
- Probability and Statistics Literacy will Enhance Your Employability. Using the data provided finalize the table you created [ATTACHED BELOW AS PRELIMINARY ASSIGNMENT] and develop a written argument using the data to indicate how proficiency in probability and statistics will help to develop a skill employers find very important for recent college graduates to bring to the work force. In this section you will incorporate the numerical data into the argument.
- Conclusion. The conclusion is a summary of your ENTIRE document. It summarizes what you have done to support you thesis, and includes a reworded restatement of your thesis. It ends with a reminder to the readers of the importance of all of this for their professional future.
- Reference List [REFRENCE PROVIDED IN IDL1 PDF]. The document will end with a with a minimum of four (4) references.
