You can do 0, 1, or 2 reports as part of this assignment.  Remember your goal this semester should be to earn 45 1S1P pts.  Some of you are very close to that total.  Since you can't earn more than 45 1S1P pts, it doesn't make much sense, in that case, to write more than one report.  If you haven't earned many 1S1P pts yet this semester you should plan on doing two reports and should pick the topics with the greatest number of points possible.

Your report must be double spaced and must fit entirely on one side of one page.  A more complete set of rules and restrictions is given on the Writing Requirements page.  Click on each topic for some more report writing suggestions and for more information about a worksheet that accompanies each topic

You can do 0, 1, or 2 reports as part of this assignment.  As you turn in 1S1P reports during the semester you will accumulate points; your goal during the course of the semester should be to get as close as possible to the maximum of 45 total points allowed for 1S1P reports.  If you didn't write any Assignment #1 reports you should definitely try to do two reports this time. There will be one more assignment similar to this one later in the semester.

Your report must be double spaced and must fit entirely on one side of one page.  A more complete set of rules and restrictions is given on the Writing Requirements page.  Click on each topic for some more report writing suggestions and for more information about a worksheet that accompanies each topic

You can do a total of 0, 1, 2, or 3 reports as part of this assignment.  You can turn in up to 3 reports on the Feb. 6 due date.  You can turn in a maximum of 2 reports on the Feb. 13 due date.  Thus if you plan to write a total of 3 reports, you must turn in at least 1 report on the Feb. 6 due date.

Your report must be double spaced and must fit entirely on one side of one page.  A more complete set of rules and restrictions is given on the Writing Requirements page.  Click on each topic for some report writing suggestions.

*You will earn points on every acceptable 1S1P report you write.  As you write reports and earn points, your points total will grow.  Your objective should be to earn 45 pts. (the maximum number allowed) by the end of the semester.  How you try to do that is up to you.  There will be a total of 3 assignments like this during the semester.  Some students might write a lot of Assignment #1 and Assignment #2 reports and not have to do any Assignment #3 reports.  Other students might not write any Assignment #1 reports and then write a lot of Assignment #2 and Assignment #3 reports.  There will probably be a few students that don't write any 1S1P reports at all.  They won't earn any 1S1P pts. and their overall grade will suffer.
