Then write a brief summary (or create a short presentation) summarizing the article using MS Word or PowerPoint. Brief means no less than 10 sentences but not more than one page. Make sure to cite your source properly.

Post this summary to the Hardware Assignment discussion board. Read at least one other student’s summary on hardware and provide a peer review.

This could include but is not limited to taking a stand on the topic and providing evidence for/against it; providing additional information on the other student’s topic; posing questions about the topic and possible answers; demonstrating your understanding or application of the topic with examples. You may need to cite a source in your reply. Remember that if the information does not come out of your own head, you need to cite it.
