Analysis of badly written recipes

/in /by

Please read the following article on recipes:
Anderson, L.V. (2015, October 21). Kitchen nightmares: Why poorly written recipes drive me nuts. Slate Plus. https://slate.com/human-interest/2015/10/recipes-why-are-they-so-badly-written.html

  1. After perusing the article, examine the following set of instructions for a recipe and answer this question: According to Anderson, what is wrong with each step?
  2. Place 2 lbs. of ground beef into the pot.
  3. Mix 1 cup chopped onion into the ground beef
  4. Stir ground beef.
  5. Anderson writes the following:
    Don’t take this the wrong way, but a good recipe is written under the assumption that the people who read it are idiots.
    Is this good advice for technical writers in general when they write instructions for a task? What problems or frustrations might occur if a set of instructions is written assuming the audience has no knowledge of the task when the audience does, in fact, have some background knowledge of the task?

/in /by

Identity Formation:
Read Twains Puddnhead Wilson and write a brief reaction to FIVE of the questions attached to this syllabus (2+ pages).(CT)
The question identified before the response.
Questions:
Twain pits tradition and public opinion against science (fingerprinting) in this novel.  How are these forces alike and how are they different?  Which triumphs in the end?
In Puddnhead Wilson, the old Nature v Nurture question is interestingly posed.  What role does a persons innate qualities play in this novel?  How would your answer relate to Twains analysis of slavery?
Roxy is one of the most intelligent characters in the book, but is she likable?  Why or why not? How does her cleverness contrast with her social position?
The characters in this novel assume a variety of disguises that range from Toms passing as a white man, to Roxys dressing as a man, to the dresses Tom uses when hes robbing houses. How does the use of literal disguises relate to the use of racial disguises? How does the use of disguises provide a commentary on identity? On race?
How do the excerpts from Puddnhead Wilsons Calendar fit into the text?  Which did you like best?  Is the comedy appropriate given the books serious nature? Explain.
How are the twins, Angelo and Luigi like Tom and Chambers.
Roxy tells Tom that it is his blackness that makes him a coward.  Is this evidence that Twain supported racist views? Choose an uncomfortable moment in the book and analyze it.  Why do these moments occur? How might our contemporary understanding of race be different from Twains?
How is your hometown community like Dawsons Landing?  How much or how little have opinions changed from Twains day?
Identify a concept or theory of human development we have discussed in class and elaborate on how it was demonstrated in the book. Cite passages in the book that make your argument.

To take the Big Five personality assessment, rate each statement according to how well it describes you. Base your ratings on how you really are, not how you would like to be.

Activity questions:

  1. Which aspect scored the highest, O-C-E-A-or N? What do the assessment results indicate that highest score means about your personality?
  2. Which aspect scored the lowest, O-C-E-A-or N? Explain why you agree or disagree with this item’s score result.
  3. The assessment results provide a Personality Pattern. The core pattern describes the essential role you take on in approaching the world. This role is a reflection of your core values and motivations, as well as the way you think about things. Which of these 4 patterns did you score highest on? Explain a connection you can make to the described pattern, and what it is you value, or that you are motivated by.
