This week in class we got an opportunity to meet with our group and get going on our Report and Proposal Project. Last week was spring break and like you could guess our group did not meet up or communicate during the break. The goal for the Wednesday after spring break was to have all of our primary and secondary research completed so we could start putting the report together. We all believe that once we had the research done that it would be easy to follow the example and put our document together. The issue we are running into is making everything flow just the way we want it. We don't want our document seeming scattered and all over the place. I feel as this is the biggest obstacle our team faces.
One thing I feel our team is confident about is our reasoning behind our proposal. "Technical communication, like any other kind of writing, calls for making persuasive claims and supporting them effectively. Some forms of evidence are so clear and obvious that you immediately understand the claim the writer is making." Our goal is for our proposal to be clear and make sense so that we can go through the reasoning and persuasive the audience into agreeing with our proposal.
I feel as I am starting to really understand the importance of this class, as I believe this is my last English class in college that there are so many rules and constraints that need to be followed in order to be effective in the business world. The book talks about being aware of other cultures and how you need to understand their perspectives. My father works with some employees from Asian and it is important for him to understand their values so he doesn't offend them and could possible ruin a business deal. I am glad to see that the book talks about this because I don't know of another class that would cover this material that is so vital to being successful.
With that being said I am excited to finish up this project and be one week closer to summer time.
