Assignment 2:3 was a very engaging and useful assignment. The creation of a Linkedin account, a Formal Report progress report, and a peer review were advantageous exercises.<\/p>\n
The creation of a LinkedIn profile was a very beneficial assignment for this unit. I did not have a LinkedIn profile before we were assigned to create one, and I was excited to finally initiate my professional profile. It is a very widely used social networking site, so I felt that it is almost a necessity to have one.<\/p>\n
The process of preparing the report proposal and outline was also a very engaging assignment. It allowed me to use critical thinking to address what would best cover each necessary part of the formal report. Furthermore, I feel confident and excited about continuing with my progress, as it is nice to see the pieces of the formal report fall into place. Although I feel it may take an extensive amount of work, I feel my formal report will come together in the end.<\/p>\n
The peer review I received was very helpful information. I found, at times, I was not clear enough, and did not consistently keep my audience in mind. However, I did notice improvement from my latest assignment, which was peer reviewed. I discovered I need to be more aware of careless mistakes, such as repeating words or punctuation marks.<\/p>\n
The peer review for my partner\u2019s proposal was also a very interesting assignment. I found that, with a more extensive piece, it was quite engaging to discover an individual\u2019s writing style. I also found that many writing mistakes are quite common, and are simply overlooked during the writing process. It was also very interesting to read what one clearly has a passion for, as one\u2019s writing is usually better when discussing a subject which the writer is passionate about. The peer review process allowed me to read more into the detail of a certain piece, and not just scan the words mindlessly. I found the peer review assignment to be one of the most helpful parts of the unit.<\/p>\n
Overall, unit two consisted of very beneficial and helpful assignments. The assignments gave me a much better idea of technical writing, and gave me strategies that I will be able to use in my future.<\/p>\n
