Instruction Manual Critique

Overall, I thought the Instruction manual assignment worked well. It showed how difficult it is to write unambiguously as well as writing in such a way as to prevent inferences from the person following the directions. I liked that we couldn't assign revealing names to the various components and that we were given time in-class to collaborate on the directions. I wish we had more time to spend working on following other group's directions because I wanted to see what other groups did. The assignment was creative and fun which I thought was a nice twist on something that could've been very dry and boring.
