Option 2 Scenario and Assignment

Your team members are the co-directors of training in the HR department of Future Now Technology, Inc., in Tranquil See, California. Your boss, Ms. Utopia Dringlesohn, director of HR, is concerned that many of the firm’s 2000 white-collar employees use their computers for hours each day but do not know how to touch- keyboard. He believes the hunt-and-peck method is inefficient and increases the possibility of making errors when inputting data, thus lowering reliability.

Mr. Buzzman has asked your team to recommend a software program that teaches users how to touch type. He requires a program that is Windows (PC)-compatible, geared to adults, educationally sound, and can be learned individually, without an instructor being present.

Assignment

Identify and evaluate three to five keyboarding software programs that meet these criteria, and write a formal report recommending the best program. Justify your choice using primary (questionnaire) and secondary research (at least 3 journal articles and 2 World Wide Web sources).

Your primary audience will be MS. Dringlesohn. Your secondary audience will be company executives; your tertiary audience will be you co-workers.

In business, you will write a variety of reports, each having different purposes and audiences. Your Formal Report will offer you a variety of real-world writing scenarios (e.g., a proposal to build a restaurant; identify a problem and propose a solution for a small, local, privately owned business, etc.).

Please note that this assignment must have 6 parts: 1—Title Page

2—Table of Contents 3—Executive Summary 4—Main Body 4a—Introduction 4b—Background 4c—Discussion

(This segment will most likely be split up into different parts and maybe even sub-parts) 5—Conclusion and Recommendations

6—Sources

The project will require secondary (library, Web) and primary (questionnaire) research, and appropriate documentation.

7.What are the meanings of “representation?” How do some of the meanings apply to the representation of women in the media, and how do they contribute to the “misrepresentation” of women?

8.In light of the gender and representation theories we learned in class, reflect upon how your own gender identity is formed. Can you describe one particular TV show, book, or movie (or other form of mass media) that has significant impact on your understanding of gender and the formation of your gender identity?
