In Unit 3, we came across to learn about writing according to the “You Attitude” in which we practiced and enhanced our writing skills to adequately respond to a student (named Evan Crisp) seeking advice on how to write to a professor with proper email etiquette. I found Unit 3 the most interesting as we were able to apply technical writing skills towards scenarios that we could potentially experience in the future both academically and professionally.

Assignment 3:1 – English 301 – Writing With You Attitude

The purpose of the definition’s assignment was to accurately analyze and reflect technical writing skills in a proficient manner that can both be effectively used in academic and professional settings. As mentioned from my previous posts, I tend to thoroughly enjoy researching on various topics, and given the chance to reconnect a term that I use on a daily basis has made me find a way to communicate complex words into a comprehensible form for anybody who has no prior knowledge.
