I am a fourth year student in the Combined Major program for Atmospheric Sciences and Computer Science and I am interested in joining a writing group. I believe my experience in writing formal reports as a co-op student and in taking group-based courses make me a qualified candidate and competent team mate. As a part of my co-op work term at the UBC Weather Forecast Research Team, I have composed technical reports to both professional and general audiences. In particular, the nature of scientific findings have taught me how to use graph and figures effectively when conveying information.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding work ethics and aptitude, I would identify myself as a diligent and disciplined learner. I am cautious about change, which can be a weakness at times. As well, I am currently on a work term so I am available to work on this course in the afternoon. I am aware of my weaknesses and will make sure I put in extra effort to address them.<\/p>\n<p>Being a computer science student, I have taken a number of courses that involve group collaboration. Based on my previous experience, I value the importance of team members being responsive to one another. This is especially critical for a distance education course. Plus, finishing work as early as possible has been a strategy that had led to success in the past.<\/p>\n<p>I am looking forward to what is ahead. If you are interested in collaborating, feel free to send me an email.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Y.S.
