For Unit Three, we learned\u00a0about how to write with a \u201cYou-attitude\u201d. These skills were developed in a memorandum,\u00a0complaint letters, and as part of our formal report. \u00a0The exercises and peer reviews\u00a0have\u00a0improved my writing skills and\u00a0provided me with a\u00a0standard for\u00a0writing in the professional world.\u00a0 These skills were applied to\u00a0my formal draft and was fundamental in the organization and writing of the formal draft. \u00a0Aside from developing my technical writing skills, I learned how important punctuality is when working in a group setting. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I wrote my research proposal on the feasibility of emailing exercises programs to clients in active rehabilitation. \u00a0The process for writing my formal report draft included topic research, creating surveys, and writing the report. \u00a0The most challenging part of my draft was creating the survey and collecting data to support my venture. \u00a0\u00a0I\u00a0was careful with the questions I asked and maintained my focus on the objective\u00a0of my report. \u00a0I provided surveys to the\u00a0clients at my clinic and within a span of a week had more responses than I expected. \u00a0Even though I had only 28 responses, I felt that it was substantial enough explain to the target audience my proposed solution. \u00a0Researching was somewhat difficult and I\u2019m still in the process of looking for literature to support\u00a0my idea. \u00a0Once I was organized, I began writing my draft and organizing the sections with the proper information. \u00a0This formal report is extensive and I had\u00a0made sure that I was concise in conveying my point.\u00a0\u00a0Even though I had the data I needed, \u00a0I still have a long way to go in order to complete this project.\u00a0 Right now, I feel like I\u2019m on the right track to getting there.<\/p>\n

Peer reviewing my partner\u2019s letters and research proposal continues to benefit my writing. \u00a0I\u00a0noticed that I am better at finding mistakes in my writing after analyzing another paper. \u00a0The \u201cYou-Attitude\u201d approach to writing was great in helping me create a more friendly tone in my writing, without resonating negativity or insulting the reader. \u00a0I became more accustomed to this form of writing and feel comfortable in using this style in any type of composition. Unfortunately, my review partner has yet to examine my paper and I\u2019m still awaiting his feedback on my work. \u00a0This has happened to me before in the past in this course and I\u2019m starting to see how a small delay can affect people when working in a group setting. \u00a0That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to be punctual with the assignments and I always make sure I\u2019m well organized so that my work is submitted in a timely manner. \u00a0Regardless, I applied some of the feedback I gave to my writing partner\u2019s draft onto my own report. \u00a0It\u2019s interesting how I can\u00a0make the same errors I detect on my partner\u2019s paper. \u00a0Again, reviewing my own paper after looking at someone else\u2019s helps me\u00a0with self-editing. \u00a0I looking forward to receiving my feedback because it will vastly improve the quality of my paper. \u00a0There\u2019s still a few weeks before the deadline, which leaves plenty of time to enhance my report.<\/p>\n

My technical writing skills are continuing to improve and I have added the \u201cYou-attitude\u201d writing style to my repertoire. \u00a0Being organized was key in completing my draft report and having a timeline for the assignment helped with my punctuality.\u00a0 I\u2019m hoping to receive my review soon so that I can apply some of the feedback to my work. \u00a0I feel strong with the \u201cYou-attitude\u201d writing style and looking forward to complete my final report and the process creating an application package. \u00a0My confidence in technique writing has improved substantially and I will be incorporating these skills towards the final projects of this class.<\/p>\n
