  1. Assignment #2: Lessons to be Learned • Organize Your Material for the Reader: A good memo title and appropriate section headings contribute to effective writing. • Set the Stage: Provide a brief introduction to your papers/memos. • Presentation is Important: Attractive memos/reports are more likely to be read and make an impact than unattractive and hard to read reports --Attractive overall presentation--Readability: Indent paragraphs or lines between paragraphs to for readability • Content is the Most Important: While nice looking documents are important, content is what makes for good planning. --Present your key findings in the memo, not in appendices. Include appendices with more detail if necessary, but major findings must be in the memo. • Data Presentation Tips --Give ALL tables and figures titles and numbers.Table 1. Projected Population for Southwood --No Hanging Tables, Figures:Refer to any and all tables in a report memo. --Be precise in the presentation of your data. Note the units used, the exact numbers calculated. “400 acres” is very different than “389.4 acres”.

  2. Assignment #2 Specific Issues • Read the Assignment--For Solid Waste and Wastewater the residential multiplier was sufficient to cover non-residential uses--Present findings in per day (gpd or ppd) not per year • Be precise in your calculations --Check and double-check your inputs--Check and double-check your calculations--Prima Facie analysis of results (Examples: More students than homes, More wastewater than potable water) • Be precise in your language and description of the results in the memo--Many people made correct calculations, but then had a typo in the memo or in your tables

  3. Assignment #2 Redo Opportunity • Everyone has the opportunity to redo one part or both parts of Assignment #2. • This opportunity allows you to increase your grade up to 10 points from your current grade on each part. However, to earn the full ten point bonus, you will need to: • --Correct ALL errors of calculation • --Address any presentation issues • --Rewrite your memo (if it was deemed a problem) • Must turn in 1) your original assignment and 2) your new version no later than Friday, Nov 21 by 4:00pm. • Note: Volusia County part worth 40%; Southwood part worth 60% • This redo is not required… you may choose not to do this if you are happy with your grade and/or do not have the time/energy to get this done.
