Weekly Writing Assignment, Week 11

As discussed in this week’s lecture, post your research report’s introduction paragraph with a memo header into a comment made to this week’s Weekly Writing Assignment. Please remember that your introduction should be a single paragraph written in complete sentences and it should be between 250-500 words in length. If you use any quotes, please include a list of references. Some of the example sentences from the lecture are included below.

First sentence should establish the purpose of the report and its topic. For example:
- This report is a design review of Apple’s ARM-based M1 system on a chip (SoC).
- This report investigates the effectiveness of several different team collaboration services, including Slack, Discord, and Microsoft Teams.
- This report investigates the causes behind the personal computer video card shortage of 2021.

The next sentence or sentences should elaborate on the report’s topic--giving brief historical context, useful details, discussion, etc.

Conclude the introduction with a “road map” sentence that guides your reader through the remainder of the report. 
- In the following, the report presents a historical background of Apple’s computing architecture, Apple’s design process that led to the M1, comparisons between Apple’s M1 and other popular microprocessors, and discussion of the M1’s applications.
- This report is organized around a discussion of typical features of team collaboration services and software, comparisons of the features offered by  three popular services, namely Slack, Discord, and Microsoft Teams, and discussion of the economic considerations of each service discussed.
- This report examines the current video card shortage by first, presenting a history of personal computer graphics and video cards; then, discussing the sources of demand and constraints of supply in the video card market; and finally, concluding with suggestions about how to solve this dire problem.

    SUBJECT: Research Report Introduction
    This report is going to be about Python-Bot. The introduction of this research report is going to be about the usefulness of the Python-Bot, the effectiveness of it and how it can be used in other aspects of life outside of the computing industry. The Python-Bot is a programming chatbot that is designed to help students not only better understand the coursework material for their classes, but to also book appointments with their tutors. One notable fact about these chatbots is that teachers can observe the types of questions that students ask, the subject’s peoblem areas, and can much more easily measure the learning abilities of students in the classroom. This report also discusses the fact that chatbots have started to be used in education as of recent. Simply put, this is going to be an exciting development for the future of education if chatbots become an integral part of the learning process. One of the most important aspects of the Pyton-Bot is how the system for it was designed. The development for Python-Bot follows principles (drag-and-drop and code-free design) that come from Snatchbot. Snatchbot provides you with an in-built editor that can be utilized to develop a simple or complex conversation with both action buttons and translations.
    In conclusion, the whole purpose of this report is to examine the purpose of these chatbots, why they exist, and how useful are they when it comes to helping students with their class work. Chatbots can be used to help students learn Python by having professors help students set up the chatbox on their computers. After that, students can type and submit questions to the chatbox (the chatbox will in turn, help by providing step by step advice and solutions on how to program within Python).
