<h2>Scenario 1: Developing a course syllabus</h2>
</div>
<div id="content">
<h3>Scenario description</h3>
<p>You are the new instructor of an undergraduate technical writing course to be offered in an upcoming semester. Over the next six weeks, you want to develop the course syllabus, which will be uploaded to the course Web site as an HTML document. The syllabus sections will be added iteratively and include:
<ul>
<li>Course overview, objectives
<li>Readings/assignments calendar</li>
<li>Grading, project requirements</li>
<li>University policies</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h4>Week one</h4>
<h3>Create new document & syllabus outline</h3>
<img alt="figure 1" width="320px" align="right" src="scenario1_figure1.png"/>
<ol>
<li>Creating an HTML document for the syllabus
<ol>
<li>You've already completed <a href="">Git Setup</a>.</li>
<li>You <a href="">Create a New Project</a> in the <em>projects</em> folder of the home directory.
<li>You create and save a new HTML file COM104_syllabus.htm in the <em>projects</em> folder.</li>
<li>You copy a CSS file you had used for another course and save it in the <em>projects</em> folder as syllabi.css.</li>
<li>You work for 30 minutes on the outline and appearance of the COM104_syllabus.htm document until it looks like <strong>Figure 1</strong>.
</ol>
</li>
<li>Saving to a repository</li>
<ol>
<li>Since you now have two files to be saved to a repository, you <a href="">Initialize a Repository</a> for <em>com104</em> and <a href="">Stage a Commit</a> for them.
<li>Next, you <a href="">Make a Commit</a> to save your project's working copy with in the <em>com104</em> repository.</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<h4>Week two</h4>
<h3>Add course calendar outline & grading scale</h3>
<img alt="figure 2" width="320px" align="right" src="scenario1_figure2.png"/>
<ol>
<li>Updating existing documents
<ol>
<li>You add a calendar table under the Course Calendar section and a grading scale table under the Grading & Project Requirements section of COM104_syllabus.htm. The syllabus now looks like <strong>Figure 2</strong>.</li>
<li>You <a href="">Make a Commit</a> to match your project's working copy with the <em>com104</em> repository copy.</li> </ol>
</li>
<li>Branching sideways to preserve current version
<ol>
<li>To preserve the current document as a form for other syllabi in the future, you decide to "branch sideways," or <a href="">Initialize a Repository</a> called <em>courses</em> for the files and <a href="">Stage a Commit</a> for them.</li>
<li>You then <a href="">Make a Commit</a> to match the working copy to the new <em>courses</em> repository.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Week three</h4>
<h3>Flesh out calendar & add course objectives</h3>
<img alt="figure 3" width="320px" align="right" src="scenario1_figure3.png"/>
<ol>
<li>Updating existing documents
<ol>
<li>You add some of the assigned readings and in-class exercises to the calendar table and finish the course objectives. The syllabus now looks like <strong>Figure 3</strong>.</li>
<li>You <a href="">Make a Commit</a> to match your project's working copy of COM104_syllabus.htm to the <em>com104</em> repository copy.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Reviewing document history: Before moving on to other work, you <a href="">Track Changes</a> to review all of the changes you made to the document today.
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Week four</h4>
<h3>Update university policies & make consistent with course objectives</h3>
<img alt="figure 4" width="320px" align="right" src="scenario1_figure4.png"/>
<ol>
<li>Updating existing documents
<ol>
<li>The University has just released their updated academic policies. You copy, paste, and format the policies in the syllabus document.</li>
<li>You change the course objectives to make them consistent with the University policies' grading and participation criteria.</li>
<li>You <a href="">Make a Commit</a> to match your project's working copy of COM104_syllabus.htm to the <em>com104</em> repository copy.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Adding select update to other branch
<ol>
<li>You also want to add the updated university policies to the syllabus document in the <em>courses</em> branch, so you <a href="">Switch Branches</a>.</li>
<li>You then use <a href="">Cherry-Picking</a> to commit only the university policies update to the syllabus.htm document in the <em>courses</em> branch.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Week five</h4>
<h3>Finish calendar & project requirements</h3>
<img alt="figure 5" width="320px" align="right" src="scenario1_figure5.png"/>
<ol>
<li>Updating existing documents
<ol>
<li>You finish adding the assignments and readings to the course calendar table and add requirement descriptions for each major project assignment.</li>
<li>You <a href="">Make a Commit</a> to match your project's working copy of COM104_syllabus.htm to the <em>com104</em> repository copy.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Rolling back last week's changes to course objectives
<ol>
<li>You realize that course objectives should be more consistent with the course calendar and not the university policies, so you want to restore the previous version of the text.</li>
<li>You use a <a href="">New Commit to Revert</a> the unwanted changes to course objectives.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Week six</h4>
<h3>Finish course description & make final edits</h3>
<ol>
<li>Updating existing documents
<ol>
<li>You make some final edits to the text of the syllabus document.</li>
<li>You then experiment with format by making several changes to the syllabus.css document.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Accepting only some of the changes
<ol>
<li>You decide to only accept the textual changes, so you use <a href="">Git Checkout</a> to restore the <em>project</em> repository's version of syllabus.css and restore COM104_syllabus.htm to the revised version.</li>
</ol>
</li>
