Appendix Moments: Sharing Relevant Materials
 
An Appendix is a wonderful way to share in-depth material that does not fit concisely into the Analysis section of your team recommendation report. This information might be how-to oriented, or it can be data oriented.

There are not specific requirements for Appendix materials in W231.
It is important that you use the Appendices as more than a digital file cabinet.
Be sure that you take a paragraph or more to introduce materials included in an Appendix,
how the materials relate to the project, and what the client will learn more about as she reads the Appendix.
 
HOW TO Sections in an Appendix
If your team is suggesting that FaceBook privacy setting be changed, the Analysis is where you share evidence that this is a good idea by citing other FB users and best practices. However, the Analysis is not the ideal place or "How To" comments. Practical implementation, step-by-step, and how to directions fit well into an Appendix.
 
From your Creekside Recommendation Report sample, you can see that students created Appendix sections to help the client know step-by-step how to update FaceBook settings. 

DATA Sections in an Appendix
You might have very detailed data that would be great for your client to know, but that isn't concise. Share the moste important data points in the Analysis, then share the rest of the details in an Appendix.

TRANSPARENCY in an Appendix: You can use an Appendix to Share ALL Supporting Documents
The team can opt to share supporting documents that you've generated as part of teh Recommendation Report experience. Things every team creates that you might include are:

      >>The Visual Pitch to the Class from WP1
      >>Thank you email sent to the client after the meeting
      >>The Team Formation Memo
      >>The Team Annotated Bibliography
      >>Transmittal Email

Things you'd need to read/edit for a general audience: Client/Team Meeting Notes, Team meeting notes, etc.

For students in major like Infomatics, Business, and Engineering, this documents your ability to maintain wekly meeting notes and supporting documents as a way to track/verify a longer project.

OTHER Sections in your Appendices
There may be other fascinating charts, statistics, and information you found that you mention briefly in the Analysis but want to share  with the client. An Appendix is a fine place to share data that is relevant, but that is too complex, detailed, or long to place in the body of your report.
