Differentiate between Informal and Analytical Assignments.
Analytical Assignments are written from analysis point of view. This type of assignments
give a complete and analytical view of assigned topic or discussion. Key to the analysis is
breaking down the idea or topic into components and showing the relationship between the
subordinate arguments and overall controlling ideas.
The purpose of Informal Assignments is to learn through the process of consistent and
varied forms of writing. These are meant as a way to explore ideas. Informal writing
assignments often include: essays, book reviews, free writing, journal writing, course
evaluations, etc.

What are the purposes of using Colons? Give details.
Colons: Use colons for the following purposes:
• to introduce and emphasize lists, quotations and explanations and certain appositional
elements (see Layout)
• to express ratios
• to separate numbers signifying different nouns, such as in separating units of
• time or elements in a bibliographic citation
• to separate titles from subtitles
To set off and emphasize lists–The market for photovoltaic power systems includes the
following items: intrusion alarms, flood monitors, calculators, and telephone call boxes.
OR
The market for photovoltaic power systems includes the following items:
• intrusion alarms
• flood monitors
• calculators
• telephone call boxes
To set off and emphasize quotations–
The contract reads: "DL-400 coaxial cable shall be used for all platform instrument
installations at Site 5, unless a specific exception is justified in the approved work order."
To set off and emphasize explanations and appositional elements–
In designing the tachometer, the team first posed a question: What operations are needed on
the input signal in order to generate the desired output?
To express ratios–
• The ratio of drag torque to bearing friction torque cannot exceed3:1.
To separate units of time–
• The main thruster engines ignited at .

What is the difference between Feasibility Report and Proposal?
Proposal: A document that offers a solution to a problem or a course of action in response to
a need. Typically, organizations advertise a need for proposals and consulting engineers
respond to the need. However, an engineer has to determine that a problem exists, and
therefore, proposes solutions to an organization. In this case, he must first convince the
agency that the problem exists before proposing his solutions.
Feasibility report: Feasibility Reports studies a situation (for example, a problem or
opportunity) and a plan for doing something about it and determines whether that plan is
"feasible". It determines whether it is technologically possible and whether it is practical (in
terms of current technology, economics, social needs, and so on). The feasibility report
answers the question "Should we implement Plan X?" by stating "yes," "no," but more often
"maybe." Not only does it give a recommendation, it also provides the data and the reasoning
behind that recommendation.

What is Narration?
Ans:
Narration, in literature, is the telling of the story through one or more viewpoints.
Different viewpoints include:
• First person: uses first person pronouns "I", "me", "myself";
• Third person: uses pronouns "he", "she", "they," "them", etc. without directly
referring to the narrator.
• Third person omniscient means the narrator, or author, can "get in the heads" of all
characters and narrate what is happening at all times in the story rather than having
one first person narrator telling about only what happens to him or herself.

What is the purpose of using Equations?
Ans:
There are numerous mathematical relationships that have been established in
science, finance and other areas. Examples include the relationship between force
and acceleration, conversion of centimeters to inches, and determining the
payments on a loan with a given interest rate.
The purpose of Algebra is to make it easy to state the relationship by using letters to
represent entities as a form of shorthand. The relationship is then called an
equation. Algebra then allows you to substitute values for entities in order to
determine the value of other items. Finally, you can manipulate the equations to
solve for the various items or unknown quantities.
Questions you may have include:
•
How is a relationship stated using letters?
•
How are values substituted?
•
How are equations manipulated?
