2. What I've learned
Writing
I believe I now how a much better
understanding of he Writing
Process and how it works. The
process is much more than just
writing.
Understanding who your intended
audience
The context of ones writing is very
important
3. What I've learned
Also the style and clarity is important when writing
Avoid using biased language
Awkwardness
I've also realized that my writing needs to be more concise. I
have a tend to go off on a rant. I need to take more of a business
style approach.
4. What I've learned
Adapting to new technologies
Aware that devices and software can quickly become out of date
Selecting the medium
With so many media and forms of communication available, selecting
the most appropriate medium can be challenging.
E-mail
Memos
Letters
Instant Messaging
Text Messaging
5. What I've learned
Design and Visuals
The physical appearance of a document is important because if
not the title, the pictures and graphics are usually the first thing
readers will look at. It could be anything from:
Drawings
Flowcharts
Global Graphics
Graphs – Line, Picture, Bar, Pie
6. How I learned It
For example with the letter.
Even though I was very angry I knew I couldn’t be to
harsh knowing its not exactly the representatives fault. In this
case knowing your intended audience.
Also realizing after the fact that my writing needs to be
more concise. In the letter I rambled on about unnecessary
stuff.
7. How I learned It
I became more familiar with the design and visuals only by
creating multiple letters and memos. The classes text book
also help me figure out how paper were to be structured.
The only way to fully understand design and visuals is to
practice using them. Its like with most cases, the more you
do something the better you become at it.
8. Why This Matters
it matters because it is important to know how to construct
different papers such as memos, letters, etc. just think how
businesses would respond if someone didn’t know how write
correctly.
The thing is you cant write as if you were having a normal
conversation with your best friend when dealing with
business writing.
10. Using this in the Future
I will most likely have to use these new skills throughout the
rest of my college years and even for the rest of my life.
Having the ability to write in such a way could be crucial in
the future. That’s why I will continue to really focus and try to
achieve something that not everyone has. Without this I
could see my self running into a few issues, and issues hold
people back. I don’t want to be held back from anything.
