Overview

For this assignment, you will prepare a professionally formatted manual containing the system administration procedures written by you for the labs in this course. Your manual will contain a title page, table of contents, preface, two major sections containing the individual procedures, and a reference list (Bibliography is optional).

Deliverable

Submit your system administration manual in MS Word format (.docx or .doc file types) using the corresponding assignment folder entry (in LEO). You must also submit the file containing your manual to TurnItIn for originality checking.

Instructions

1.Using the grading rubrics and other feedback from your instructor, refine your step-by-step procedures.

2.Download and review the template file (Course Resources > System Administration Manual Template). You may use this template file or design your own manual.

3.Complete the following sections in your Manual

4.Each procedure document must begin at the top of a new page in your manual. Use a page break to separate each procedure from the next procedure (page breaks are already in the template file).

5.Adjust the section heading formatting and paragraph formatting so that your document has a neat and professional appearance.

6.Update the Table of Contents before you save your file.

7.Submit your file to TurnItIn for Originality Checking.

8.Submit your file as an attachment to the LEO Assignment Folder entry for this assignment.

Notes

1.If you did not complete a lab earlier in the course, you should take this opportunity to write the missing procedures and include them in your manual.

2.Work completed for this assignment will only count towards your grade for this assignment and must meet the requirements of this assignment. The grades previously assigned for your work for each lab assignment will not be revised or adjusted.

3.Captions are not required for images included inside the step-by-step procedures.

4.Your instructor will be checking the TurnItIn report to verify that your manual is primarily your own original work and that the procedures themselves were not copied wholesale from other sources. It is expected that the overall match score will be higher than usually allowed due to the repetitive nature of step-by-step procedures and the use of standard phrasing that TurnItIn’s filters do not exclude. Matches to common phrases will not count against the student.
