TCO 341.3W1 Technical Communication

This week you should be finishing up the peer reviews of the completed proposals. Again, peer review partners are:

Team 1: Kevin, James, Mike -- Team 4: Jacob, Rachel, Rooshi, Dillon
Team 2: Andrea, Wilson, Brad -- Team 3: Emily, Kyanne, Brennen

Each team needs to appoint a communication leader to email the documents to the other team. Each team needs to review the documents, and one person needs to complete the rubrics, make sure the rest of the team supports the critique, and then return the documents to the other team.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION -- PROPOSAL FORMATTING

Remember that your proposal should be formatted in this order:

Title Page
Letter of Transmittal
Table of Contents
Executive Summary
Introduction
Technical Approach
Operations Plan (Mgt Approach)
Conclusion
Appendix/Appendices

Also, remember to use page numbers, headings, headers if desired, visuals as much as possible, and times new roman or other serif font for body text. Headings and titles should be in Arial or some other sans serif font.

PROPOSAL PRESENTATIONS

Groups will present in the following order:

Group 1, 2, 3, then 4

Please refer to the Proposal Presentation Rubric for grading information. Remember to use a title screen, hook, propsoal overview, and then your content -- and finish with a thank you/questions slide.

As your final checklist, use the Proposal Grading Rubric to make sure you've included everything.

Below are other documents you may need:

Outline for the Technical Approach
