Reading Response #8

 

For Project 3, I originally planned to use an A3 report format for my topic because I thought it would be an efficient way of displaying all my information. However, after I started doing the research, I realized that a white paper would be better because of all the medical information involved. Because I figured a lot would go into the makings of a cure for the zombie plague, the length of a white paper would benefit the project more by being able to offer more than an A3 report could.

Because of the way a white paper can be divided up, I can neatly display all my information (such as how to implement the cure, how it works, etc) and set it up in chapter-like sections that are informative but brief. It was also easier to work in pictures and maps in the white paper than it would have been with an A3 report, which has a limited amount of space that can be taken up.

Overall, I think switching to a white paper format was a good decision.  Information, while there is more than I could have fit onto an A3 report, is still easy to find despite the fact that there is more detail. I think the project turned out well!
