Task ③ DOCUMENT CONTROL
Task 03 is to transform, through skilful formatting, a basic text version of a downloaded text file into one created to be capable of being saved as a UNC thesis, ready to be saved to the Carolina Digital Repository.
Task
You will be provided with a basic, plain text, manuscript. Your task is to transform, through skilful formatting, this basic text into a formatted document, such that it would be capable of being saved as a UNC thesis, ready to be saved to the Carolina Digital Repository.
You have the text of the document
your task is to format objects and styles
and then changing the formatting of the text to your new formats and styles.
Additionally, you will save a second copy of the "thesis" so that it may be sent to printers in a different country.
Condition
Create formats so that the document may be saved for binding using standard pages sizes, and then create a second copy of it that may be saved for printing in a third country.
We will use the UNC Graduate School Thesis and Dissertation Guide to format our text into an acceptable document.
Working in groups for tasks
You may, if you choose to, do task 03 as a group project. These are some rules of thumb to follow for group work in INLS161.
- If you choose the team option, let your recitation instructor know who are the members of your team.
- Note who your work group members are and be sure you know them by face and by email address.
- As much as possible, every member of the group should do all the components of the task. Do not parcel out portions of the task to individuals.
Standard
Task 03 is worth 15% of your INLS161 grade, so this task will be worth 15 points in total. Each of the sub-elements is listed on the gradesheet.
Save two files for task 03
- lastName.firstName.YYYYMMDD.the-information.docx
- lastName.firstName.YYYYMMDD.the-information.a4.docx
Save them to your UNC OneDrive space and share them both with your recitation instructor. The recitation instructor can then download them directly from your OneDrive space.
In Canvas, just enter a comment saying you have shared them, or enter the URL for both of the shared files.
