Dear Technical writing class 301:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am here to apply for a position as a member of the Enligsh 301 writing team. As a potential member of your team, I aim to create an inclusive environment that promotes teamwork and encourages feedback as we each continue to develop our technical writing abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am currently a fourth year Mathematical student at UBC who has acquired a bit of technical writing skills through numerous extracurricular activities. Despite mathematics being a field that requires little to no technical writing skills, I was able to develop my technical writing skills during my temporary position as head lifeguard of Richmond Aquatics. During my time as head lifeguard, I was tasked to write daily reports that concisely summarizes the events that occurred during my shift in a professional matter. The second task I was assigned was then to write formal email request to our supervisors whenever we ran low on supplies such as gloves, bandaids, and ointments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My strengths in regards to technical writing is my ability to be a direct and concise. A lot of this stems from the fact that all of the formal documents I have written have required me to summarize a large amount of information in order for the reader to read the report quickly. My biggest weakness would then be my lack of consistency in writing as mathematics is not a field that requires much if any writing skills.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My learning philosophy is that everyone learns differently and at their own pace. As a person who has taught both swimming and mathematics for several years now I have discovered that a majority of people learn things differently. Personally I thrive in an environment that is acceptive of constructive feedback, as I personally believe that the best way for people to grow is to take and be acceptive of the advice given by others.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you need any further information from me please contact me at <\/span>eric.c1997@hotmail.com<\/span><\/a> thank you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/span><\/p>\n
