This document summarizes the key lessons learned from an ENC 3250 Professional Writing midterm reflection. It discusses learning about the writing process including audience, organization, outlining, and revisions. It also covers style and clarity with word choice, conciseness and parallel structure. Design and visuals like headings, layout, tables and graphs are addressed. Specific assignments helped apply these lessons to a flight attendant email, website comparisons, a complaint letter and a document with a table. Peer review was valuable for gaining different perspectives to improve writing. These skills will benefit future coursework and accounting career writing.

6. How, specifically, did I learn it?
• ALL ASSIGNMENTS
• Develop a writing process: first consider audience; organize thoughts
on paper with an outline; write a rough draft; revise draft; proofread
before submitting final draft.
• Make sure to choose concrete, rather than abstract words, especially
for professional and workplace writing, and parallel structure so there
is a smooth flow of ideas and good transition between paragraphs.
• Visual presentation is very important to convey ideas and
information. Headings allow for ease of reading. Tables, graphs or
charts are good to present data or show comparisons.
7. Why does this learning matter? Why is it
significant?
• Importance of peer review
• In my profession (accounting) and work experience, a lot of
work is done independently and on a computer. This course
has shown me the value of peer review and working with
others.
• The peer review process helps to see things from a different
point of view and gives a better perspective.
• Input from others helps to develop ideas and aids in clear and
concise writing.
8. What ways will I use this learning in future
courses and in my career?
• This course has already helped me in my current job. I write better
emails and business letters. I think about my audience for workplace
writing, and write more clear and concise emails and letters. I try to
select better word choice (concrete rather than abstract), avoid
affectation, avoid biased words or phrases, and use parallel structure.
• I will continue to develop my skills and improve my writing.
