11 December 2014 Drowning in the Discourse Julie Wildhaber says that “A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them” (Wildhaber). For students in college, their audience will always be their professor. Along with expecting a strong voice, professors expect students, even first year students, to master and employ the many other writing skills that make up academic discourse. Most students tend to prioritize the more technical conventions of writing over the development of a distinguished and personalized voice. The conventions of college writing are very complex and if professors are more helpful and patient with first year students as they learn academic discourse, students will be better prepared for all future academic endeavors and they will have a better opportunity to strengthen and develop their voice.
Cameron Dear Professor Varnum, I have decided upon option “A” for my paper, as I was interested in the tactics that David Foster Wallace utilized in his commencement speech. In addition, I also found his views on the true value of a college education to be very interesting and was excited to share my views as well. Please give me your feedback at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Cameron Most college educations are what one makes of them and a college education is about more than simply earning a degree and preparing oneself for their future. A college education is about giving oneself the ability to have control over their life.
One of the plans was to motivate staff to reach goals in a positive manner. One of the practical example that was given is to use contests and incentives to help keep workers motivated and feeling rewarded. I could immediately relate and understand the task at hand. With hands on, I am able to do, and perform the learned skill as it is being taught to me. I recently started a new position at my current work place and the software that this department uses is totally different from what I was accustom to using for the past thirteen years.
Documentation Styles Tennisha Johnson Everest University Documentation Styles A documentation style is a standard approach to the citation of sources that the author of a paper has consulted, abstracted, or quoted from (What are documentation styles, 2012, para 1). There are different styles for every writing purpose. It is important to choose a documentation style so that the reader knows the source that you are quoting.

COM10003 Learning and communication online Assessment 2B: Analysis of collaborative work The following is a review of Assessment 2A: Producing an online informational resource. I will be discussing, demonstrating and addressing the key criteria as it applies to my group’s now submitted assessment and how the factors of online collaboration affected the effective productivity of my group with reference to learning materials we have studied throughout. The shining example that comes to my mind is the strong leadership from one of our members, Will Martin. I am unfamiliar with Will’s background but he has a firm understanding of leaderships skills and abilities. He was immediately instrumental in getting us on track for a topic and discussing strengths/ weaknesses of group members Will Martin 8/4/15 “So my interests: Health, Food, Wine, Social issues (Bullying, refugees, indigenous, tolerance, politics), Travel, Artists, Filmmaking, Filmmakers, Writing, Blogging, Technology.
He offered a lot of help and was willing to make notes on my paper to attempt at helping me make my paper the best it could possibly be. I really appreciate his time and effort and definitely took in to account some of the great and helpful feedback he gave me. Another person I would also like to shortly thank is Professor Miller. She took the time out of her busy schedule to sit down and have a conference with me and go over any questions. It made it easier to figure out exactly what she was looking for in my paper.
Since the way I approach my research it helps cover a lot of ground in limited amount of time giving me time to focus on other issues in my life like work and my kids. I am also able to do multiple assignments in a short amount of time so that I can finish them on time, hand them in and receive a good grade on the assignment. The way COMM 150 has affected the way I think about academic integrity and giving the proper credit to the ideas of others is that those people are helping me by publishing their work, so they deserve the credit for doing the hard labor that I did not have to do. What I mean by that is if I put in the time and hard work to put together something and someone else used my work and did not acknowledge me as being a help source I would get frustrated and upset. So I have no problem giving credit to where credit is due.
