During my time as an English 301 student, I completed various writing assignments. Listed below are my best works, which include a brief introduction to their contents. Clicking the hyperlink in each header will bring you to the posted document!<\/p>\n
Definition Assignment:<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The objective of the Definition Assignment was to choose a word that relates to my professional field and define it for a particular audience. I decided to define the word ‘fuel cell’ and explain it to a nontechnical audience. Three definitions of the term ‘fuel cell’ are included: a parenthetical, a sentence, and an expanded definition. In my expanded definition, I elaborate on the benefits, uses, safety concerns, and components of fuel cells.<\/p>\n Peer Review of the Definition Assignment:<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n My first peer review was for David Cheung, a member of my writing team. David wrote an informative and well-written document on the term ‘debasement.’ In my review, I highlight the missing assignment criteria: statement of target audience. Further, I suggest improvements to the organization and grammar of the document.<\/p>\n Formal Report Proposal & Proposal Memo:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The formal report is a major assignment in English 301.\u00a0 In my proposal, I decided to explore the feasibility of implementing a website at my current employment, Piquant Gourmet Foods. This proposal describes the intended audience and elaborates on why a website is valuable to Piquant. In my proposal, I describe my qualifications and how I plan to pursue this study.<\/p>\n The intention of the Proposal Memo is to inform Dr. Erika Paterson that the proposal has been posted. This memo summarizes the contents of the formal report proposal and encloses a PDF copy of the document.<\/p>\n Progress Report for the Formal Report:\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This assignment details the progress I made during the Formal Report writing process. In this progress report, I highlight my methods of research, research plan, and writing schedule. Included in this document are also links to the surveys I used for this study.<\/p>\n LinkedIn Best Practices Memo:<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n LinkedIn plays an important role in the professional world. In this memo, I provide a list of 10 best practices when using LinkedIn as a professional networking site.<\/p>\n Memo to Evan Crisp:<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Writing with a you-attitude is important in professional writing. Evan Crisp requested advice on the contents of his message to Professor Lambert, as he did not receive a response. This memo offers solicited advice to Evan Crisp on the best practices in writing emails to professionals.<\/p>\n Complaint letter & Response Letter:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The objective of this assignment was to choose an experience resulting in dissatisfaction and to write two letters based on it: a complaint letter from my perspective, and a bad news response letter from the company representative. For this assignment, I used a recent experience I had regarding a faulty toaster from T-fal.<\/p>\n The complaint letter details the problem I have with the product using a friendly tone, and proposes a solution to mitigate the issue at hand. The response letter uses the you-attitude to reduce the impact of the bad news when suggesting an alternative solution.<\/p>\n Peer Review of a Formal Report:<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The peer review offers positive, yet constructive criticism to a member of my writing team, Harvey Dhaliwal. I commented on the highlights of Harvey’s report, as well as some areas requiring improvement. I offered Harvey some suggestions to improve the final document by: including a working header, correcting minor grammatical errors, and using a you-attitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During my time as an English 301 student, I completed various writing assignments.
