Making a thanksgiving turkey is not easy. There are a lot of steps one has to go through to make the turkey come out good enough to serve. It is generally a long process that takes at least five hours. Dryness is the biggest complaint people have. In this video it shows you how to keep the turkey moist. In the video the cook mentions something about “basting” she should explain further what this process is so people can understand not to do it in case they are not fully aware what it is. Other than that, she does a thorough job at explaining how to cook a thanksgiving turkey if one is unaware how to do so

From Watching this video on how to make pasta its pretty simple how to cook it.

No brains needed, just boil your water until it bubbles and add salt. then put in your pasta. stir occasionally so pasta does not stick together for a few minutes, then drain and add your sauce, if its thick add some of the pasta water not all of the pasta water, then plate eat and enjoy. 🙂

How to make a cheesecake

Posted on December 2, 2012 by | Leave a comment

 

Investigating on how  to bake a cheesecake, I found a video on youtube that explains how to make it. First of all, the instructor says that we must have three eggs lightly beaten, three 8-oz packages cream cheese softened, one third cup of sugar, one cup of sugar, half gram crackers, crushed, two tea spoons all purpose flour, one tea spoon vanilla, a quarter cup of milk, and on third melted butter. However, in the video, she does not specify what kind of crackers we must use, and also she does not explain what the role of the ingredients that she uses to make the cheesecake is; what kinds of cup and finally, I think she should notify all the materials we need to bake at the beginning. On top of all, her documentation was fair since if we try to follow every step she mentioned in the video, we will be able to make it.

Instructional Video

Posted on December 2, 2012 by | Leave a comment

I would used  instructional videos for postioning on youtube, during my two years in the radiology progarm, for example, Chest x-ray. The narrigator explains step by step on what has to be done to obtain a diaganostic image.  She also explains what to look for in the image to make sure  it is of diaganostic quality.  The videos are very helpful and useful for people who have knowledge withing the field. If an average person who has no knowledge in the field were to watch the video they would not comprehend the procedure. The terminology is going to seem as if it is from another planet.

Notes from today, and reading & blogging assignment for Monday, December 3

Posted on December 1, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Today we discussed standards, methods and styles for process documentation. What is the best way to document the process of completing a task so that any other person or group can replicate it without assistance? Slides from today are available here.

On Monday, 12/3, we’ll discuss the practical applications of documentation. Your blogging assignment is to locate one example of process documentation in any format, read it, and write one blog post in which you describe, summarize and critique it. Does it document thoroughly and completely the process that it claims to document? If you choose a video, please embed the video into your blog post so that we can all view it easily. Be prepared to discuss your example in class!

Reading: Edge, “Write it down! The importance of documentation”
Robinson, “Documentation Dilemmas”

The final version of the research paper is due on Wednesday, December 5 at the beginning of class. Refer to the guidelines or contact me with any questions.

Good luck, everyone!

~Prof. Leonard
