By Hunter VanderLey

2. +
Introduction
 ENC 3250 has taught me many things this semester
 My knowledge has grown in large amounts about the various
methods and standards that are used in professional writing.
 Alike the first half of the course, the second half has also taught
me many new lessons and techniques that I will be able to use
once in my career.
 These techniques and lessons also correlate to the
assignments that we have worked on such as the WA3 and the
WA4.

What I have learned
 Purpose is always needed in every piece of writing.
 You need a clear and concise purpose where you state the
exact opportunity or problem so you can try and receive the
best possible outcome.

4. +
What I have learned
 Project management is also a skill that needs to be learned to
be successful
 Time management is an interval part of being professional.
 You have to learn how to work under pressure or deadlines and
still produce high quality work.

5. +
What I have learned
 Analyzing you audience is also an interval part of writing
professionally.
 Knowing your audience can help you cater to their needs.
 You always have to keep your audience in mind when writing
professionally.

6. +
How did I learn it.
 What helped me learn about how important purpose in writing
was the WA3 newsletter.
 The newsletter forced me to realize that the assignment was to
show that purpose is needed to write a well composed piece of
writing.
 When others read a newsletter they are reading to find your
purpose in writing it.

7. +
How did I learn it
 I learned about project management through the WA4 proposal
project.
 It was a large assignment that needed to be split up into
manageable pieces so that it would not be overwhelming.
 Once I split the work up it helped me accomplish the work
faster than if I tried to do it all in one sitting.

How did I learn it
 Analyzing your audience before you start writing will help the
overall success of your writing.
 You have to write to please the audience and the audience
always needs to be kept in mind.
 Both the WA3 and WA4 helped me learn that the audience is
very important.
 Both of those assignments were written to be persuasive and if
the audience wasn’t kept in mind, people would not have
responded well to the newsletter and proposal.

9. +
Why does this learning matter?
 This learning matters because I want to be able to successfully
write professionally.
 Bringing together all these concepts you will have the ability to
write for your audience, with a purpose.
 As long as you manage your time and your work, your work will
be successful.

How I will use this in the future
 In the future, no matter what career field I decide to join, the
things I have learned will follow me there.
 Writing will always be used and you need to be able to get your
message across to your audience.
 I will also have a lot of big projects where I will need to manage
my time and from the WA4 assignment I have learned how to
manage my time effectively.
 Lastly, purpose is very important because you will always have
one and in the future I will need to display my purpose through
my writing.
