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.
