Project Assumptions and Constraints
Please address the follow 2 topics.
- Compare and contrast between an assumption and a constraint, using at least 2 outside sources (but write in your own words – don’t simply drop in quotes). Answer the question “why is it important to clearly identify assumptions and constraints?”
- Assume you are planning to have new, larger work stations created in your technology department. Please provide 3 assumptions and 3 constraints that would be appropriate to consider. Describe them briefly and explain why they are an appropriate assumption/constraint for this project.
Details:
- Please read your text and the lectures on assumptions and constraints. Perform outside research (at least 2 sources).
- This is a two-week discussion. In the first week, you are to post a thorough, substantive original posting of at least 300 words on the topic (above). After making your original post, make peer postings by replying to classmates throughout the second week. Please see the rubric below to learn how to earn maximum points. I’m not interested in reading several quotes strung together; please reword everything.
- The original post is due one week from the date it was assigned, and all peer posts are due two weeks from the date the discussion was assigned. You will not see your peers’ postings until you make your original post (plus around 15 minutes so you can review/edit your post). See rubric below for grading details.
- Please cite outside sources using APA formatting (select link to follow) and note that all writing is to be original. Any uncited or plagiarized work will be reported to the College’s Academic Conduct Committee.
