Complete the following numbered problems from our textbook, “Strategies for Creative Problem Solving”: 7.6 (use the K.T. Decision Analysis format) on pages 172 & 173, and 7.13 (use the K.T. Potential Problem Analysis format) on pages 176 & 177 using MS Word or Excel.
Formatting:
Text Size: All of the text in this assignment needs to be set in 12-point size. Please resist the temptation to mix and match point sizes. If you doubt your applications intentions, just select all of your text and insure that it is in 12-point size.
Double Spacing: For this class select all of your text and set it for double spacing. This includes the name block, title and body of your work. This allows space for marking up or making notes while I am reviewing what you have written.
Margins: One-inch margins mean one (1”) on all sides. The only text that ends up on the outside of the one-inch margin is the page number.
Name Block: Place the name block in the
upper right
corner of the page. In this class, the name block only needs to be on the first page. Put your
name first
, then the
class title
and then the
date

Title: All homework assignments have a title. Please place the title just below the name block. The title
for this
assignment is “Homework 7”.
Spelling/Grammar Checking: Remember to do your spelling and grammar checking before turning your assignments in. When doing the spelling/grammar checking keep in mind that some words such as mush and must, woods and words, or here and cow, will not be caught by either check. To correct these problems, you will need to proofread your work.
Page Numbers: Any homework that has more than one page, needs to have page numbers on it. Please place your page numbers on the bottom of the page. In MS Word or Excel, use the footer selection and place the page number
in
the
bottom
center
or
bottom right
of the page.
Content:
Opinion: When a question asks for your opinion, its answer is exactly that-
your opinion
. Feel free to use
your own
opinion.
Cite Examples: For this class, you may use a citation right after the answer to a question, or you may list your references at the end of the project. It is not required to have a separate reference page for this class.
Stating the Question before Answering It: While some reports require that you state the question before your answer, in
this class
it is not required to do this.
Saving/Naming Your File:
When you save your file make sure that your name and the project number are included in it.
Example:
YourName331HW7
Because of problems with Blackboard, please use only letters and numbers in the file name.
Due Date: January 29, 2013.
