Three and half pages essay due after 8 hours from now (updated)
a reflection essay based on the BLS Occupations Projects data discussed in class (see tab labeled “Computer related professions” in spreadsheet on the I: drive; spreadsheet is also available at this link: BLS occupation stats.xlsx).
Ideas to get you started:
- What parts of the data was most interesting to you? Which occupations?
- Which occupations might require more than just a BS degree?
- Did any of the data surprise you or strike you as odd?
- How does pay correlate to projected number of new jobs?
- How does projected replacement needs data correlate to projected new jobs data?
- Does any of the data cause you to doubt your career choice or to want to change to a different computer-related choice?
Requirements:
- Your essay should be typed in Word, double-spaced, using a 12-point, serif, proportional spaced font (e.g. Times New Roman) for body text. Use one-inch margins. Titles and headings can be of another font.
- A cover page should include the paper title, your name, the date, and the name of the course.
- Not counting the cover page, the paper should be more than Three and half pages and no more than five pages long.
- Indicate new paragraphs by indenting the first line by ½-inch, not an extra line.
- Writing should be formal and correct, but first person may be used. Mechanics, usage, sentence formation, and paragraph formation will be allocated 40% of the points.
- Poorly written essays will be graded for writing only and no points will be allocated for content.
- contents are important as well
