Use the above mentioned Canvas document in this regard. List your 4 chosen instances/examples of PET, and briefly describe them in your own words. You write up, as part of this task, should contain the names of your 4 selected PET instances, and a short description of both of them, including their functions and utilities, as well as why you chose them. There is no stipulated length for this write up, and a short paragraph about of each of your 4 chosen PET examples should suffice in this regard.
Task 2 [30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = 120 Points]:
Create a short report on your hands-on exploration of each of these PET instances. Make sure that you include screenshot images from your hands-on exploration of every PET instance showing and narrating your performed case study for building this short report. Your deliverable for this task must contain clear screenshot images of your hands-on exploration work, exhibiting your test driving of each & every one of your 4 chosen PET instances, a short description (in your own words) of how you performed the hands-on exploration case study of each PET instance, and your gains & takeaways from this hands-on exploration study of every PET instance. Again, there is no stipulated length for this reporting task.
