3. How I learned Module 5
In this module, I specifically learned how to design my papers ensuring that they are professional
and create a lasting visual impact.
Through specific fonts, colors, headings, and spacing I discovered all the ways to design and style
my business papers.
Through writing Analysis Assignment 3, I was able to point out the design errors that some websites
encompassed.
When editing peer reviews, I am able to notice more design mistakes.
4. How I learned Module 21&23
Short
Reports
Proposals
Progress
Reports
• Through WA3, I learned how to better write and set up a short report
paper. The paper was about requesting three books to the One Book
One Committee club that I thought would be beneficial to incoming
freshman. After writing this paper, and reviewing another student’s
paper, I feel that I can write a professional short report in the future.
• In Analysis Assignment 1, I had to analyze two websites on their material
directed to their audience and their website maneuverability. After
writing this paper I was better able to identify the problem, feasibility and
the audience. I learned how to master this through AA1.
• I have done many progress reports through constructing drafts for my
writing assignments. When writing these drafts, I create a measurable
report on what I have done and what work remains.
5. Social Media…
I learned how social media is very alive in businesses today. Through
the Analysis Assignment 4, I investigated how social media websites
can inflict dire consequences on firms.
6. Why does this learning matter?
Learning this information is significant because it not only helps me in
my daily writing for school, but it will prepare me for my career after
college. Because I have written these memos, letters, and reports I
will be able to communicate on a professional level to all future
clients and subordinates.
7. How I utilize these learned skills…
Because I will one day want to run my own
company, I need to start communicating
better. These professional writing skills give me
a platform to start on and give me the ability
to grow.
Using these skills in day to day activities will
make my future business tasks easier to
complete.
Having a knowledge in business writing is a
learned skill that most people do not have,
with that, I know that this class has helped me
to better develop my writing abilities.
