To my fellow English 301 classmates,<\/p>\n

Please consider my application to be a member of your\u00a0technical writing team as posted on the English 301 course website. I will graduate in May 2016 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology with a minor in Applied Animal Biology at the University of British Columbia (UBC).\u00a0I believe writing is an essential skill that encompasses a multitude of components besides the physical composition of the letter itself. These components include planning, writing, drafting, structure and language, flow, grammar, revising and editing. In all honesty, I believe there is always room for improvement with these skills \u00a0and hope to do so throughout this course. In contrast, I believe I am an great editor and a great judge on structure and flow and therefore be an excellent addition to any team.<\/p>\n

As a biology student, I have been taught to critically analyze, research and understand concepts before applying that knowledge into a well-written and concise paper. Throughout my studies, I have written a multitude of proposals, lab reports, review papers, and a few scientific papers. From my experience, I believe anyone can write. However, what sets apart a decent paper from an excellent paper is the amount of effort, time, and editing that occurs, which as previously mentioned, are the skills I can contribute.<\/p>\n

Apart from my writing abilities, I am a team player. I have worked and volunteered in many group settings, including being part of of a research team, teaching youth, organizing events, etc. I believe a great team is one of unity, in which each person is aware of one another\u2019s weakness and uses one\u2019s strengths. As a member of a team, I do my best in being available and present in discussions and providing help to my peers. I also welcome criticism and feedback and am honest and respectful when giving my own opinions. Overall, I consider my hard work and experiences and my adamant mindset in producing the best, has gotten me where I am today. For this course, I aim to improve my technical writing skills.<\/p>\n

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. If you are interested in working together or have any questions, please contact me at jcng18@gmail.com and I would be happy to discuss any details with you.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
