FLOWCHARTS
Assignment Overview
STOP! Have you read, studied, and understood all of the course
materials, including the Module Home Page and the sources listed under
Background information? If you haven’t, then do so before attempting this Case.
As with all Trident courses, you’re expected to provide
references and citations. It’s recommended you use the sources listed in the
module. Resist the temptation to browse the Web, looking for “clues.” There’s a
lot of confusing stuff out there, and much of it is irrelevant. This module
contains all the information you need. Study it—use it!
Case Assignment
You’re desperately in love with another person, but that
person doesn’t know you exist. You decide to skip the whole getting-to-know-you
routine, and cast a love spell.
Assume you have a book containing the rituals, plus the
ingredients lists. The sex of the target determines which list you’ll use;
there’s one for men, and a separate one for women. The first step is to choose
the appropriate list, and check that you have everything on hand. One common
ingredient on both lists is Eye of Newt (EoN). If you don’t have EoN but have
Tongue of Cobra (ToC), then you can use that, but only if the target is male.
Otherwise, you have to have all the ingredients on the list, with no
substitutions allowed. If you don’t, then that’s the end of the procedure, at least
for the time being.
If you have all the ingredients, then check the phase of the
Moon. If the subject is male, the Moon should be waxing (New Moon through the
day before Full). If the subject is female, the Moon should be waning (Full
Moon through the day before New). If the time of the month isn’t auspicious,
then wait. Once the Moon is right, perform the ritual in either Latin or Greek,
depending upon whether the target is male (Latin) or female (Greek). This is
the end of the procedure. Good luck!
Hint: The most efficient flowchart has two main paths, one
for male and the other for female targets.
HINTS:
If you haven’t read and studied the module home page and the
sources listed under Background information, stop right here. Go back and do
the reading. Otherwise, you’ll waste hours.
Don’t browse the Web looking for information about how to
create a flowchart, until you’ve read and studied the sources in the module.
The Case was designed with these sources in mind. They contain all the
information you’ll need. You should reference and cite them, in accordance with
the Writing Guide.
You aren’t being asked to write an essay about flowcharting,
but rather to draw a flowchart. If your Case write-up doesn’t contain a
flowchart, then it’s incomplete.
Despite 4 above, your Case should follow standard format,
with a cover sheet and a brief discussion of the problem. Be sure to include
references and citations.
Assignment Expectations
Reduce the case to a series of discrete, single activities
and decisions.
Avoid clutter. In the flowchart, abbreviate the activities
and decisions. If necessary, explain the abbreviations in a glossary.
Use standard flowchart symbology.
Provide a short (one or two paragraph) explanation of the
chart. Include citations.
Follow the instructions in the BSBA Writing Style Guide
(July 2014 edition), available online at
https://mytlc.trident.edu/files/Writing-Guide_Trident_2014.pdf.
There are no guidelines concerning length. Write what you
need to write—neither more, nor less.
Clearly demonstrate your understanding of both the theory
covered in the module, and the particulars of the Case.
References and citations are required. As a minimum, you
should reference the course materials. To see how these should be presented,
please refer to the Background information page. For good examples of in-text
citations, please refer to the module Background pages.
