My name is Sarah Parry and welcome to my Web Folio. This Web Folio is designed to highlight my experience and work from English 301, including an application package. My resume can be found on the application page at: https://blogs.ubc.ca/sarahparry/application/.

A few examples of work I have completed during the semester can be found on the Work Examples page and my reflections of English 301 can be found on the blog page.

Technical Writing (English 301) is a course that covers business and professional communication that is written or online. Work is completed either independently, in consultation with the instructor, or with writing teams. The course teaches the components of writing needed for business, professional, or technical communications. There will be discussions with classmates, as well as peer reviews of the work produced. Furthermore, English 301 will aid with the development of self-editing skills. During the course, a Web Folio will be constructed, which will consist of a Linked in profile and a professional website.

My expectation for this course is that it will greatly improve my professional writing proficiency. As I am in the last year of my Physics degree, I am expecting to write many reports, mainly for labs or research. After completing this course, the quality of these should be superior compared to the reports I have previously written. I believe that through practicing the components of this course, my overall writing skills will be enriched. I am also hopeful that English 301 will aid me with my correspondence both at University and in my professional life.
