Is this ok for lesson 1?
I wrote a set of instructions first in poem form, and then in it's correct form.

Poem Form:
Place the tank,
In a safe place,
Then fill the tank with gravel,

Place the plants
Arrange the driftwood,
And fill the tank with water,

Buy fish food,
There are deals online,
Now select some fish,
To be your pets

Have fun,
Good luck
With your fish


Instruction Form:
1. First, find a good place to put your fish tank. On a sturdy shelf or on top of a low cabinet are some excellent options.
2. Lay down a layer of gravel on the floor of the fish tank.
3. Place either fake or real plants throughout the fish tank. *Optional* The plants help make hiding areas for the fish
4. Place pieces of driftwood in your fish tank. *Optional* The driftwood helps create areas for the fish to hide in.
5. Fill the tank with the correct type of water.
6. Buy a container of fish food. You can find some good deals/coupons online.
7. Select some fish. If you want to have an arrangement of fish, then choose fish that are not aggressive. However, if you want fewer fish all of one species, aggressive fish might be the fish for you.
Now you have a tank full of fish! I hope you enjoy your new pets.

It was much easier for me to write the instructions in their correct form - as a bulleted/numbered list. Writing it in a poem form was hard for me because I didn't know how much information to include/exclude from the poem. I also had trouble trying to find a rhythm for my poem. It was easier for me to write them as instructions because I could add more information, and optional details.

First task
“Please create the draft of a new mini project we are making; it is a simple platform game. It needs a menu and scrolling sensor/engine. Just build the base of it and other teams can build on it. Also, we need some background music and please program the AI of a few different enemies. Graphics should be vector and look professional. Thanks.”
Here are the members of your team:

Shadow Sword
A very skilled programmer with lots of experience but cannot do too much as Shadow Sword is already working on another project. Shadow mentioned that they could spare some time but not that much.

Musico
A composer who is able to write many different types of music. Has enough time to compose two songs before the deadline as Musico as lots of time available.

Paul23
A general programmer with little experience however has made any simple games. Paul23 has lots of spare time on his hands.

Byte
A graphic artist who is great with pixel art. For your last project (a classic RPG), Byte made excellent pixel characters. Byte said he could try with vector but he has had very little experience with it.

You must write down what tasks you would give to who

Standard Management Course - Questionnaire Scenario #2

You are the leader of a collaboration which has recently fallen inactive. You have rebooted but abandoned your last project because of little progress and it is all a mess. You have organised everything but you think your team are lacking motivation. Your task is to write a survey for your members to motivate them with at least six questions. You might want to:
-Show that you value your member's opinions
-Show that you value your member's ideas during decision process making (hint hint).
-Resolve the current inactivity crisis (re-organisation?)
