In this module, I specifically learned how to design my papers ensuring that they are professional and create a lasting visual impact.

Through specific fonts, colors, headings, and spacing I discovered all the ways to design and style my business papers.

Through writing Analysis Assignment 3, I was able to point out the design errors that some websites encompassed.

When editing peer reviews, I am able to notice more design mistakes. DID YOU KNOW?Capitalizing all your words can impede reading by 19%

How I learned Module 21&23

• Through WA3, I learned how to better write and set up a short report paper. The paper was about requesting three books to the One Book One Committee club that I thought would be beneficial to incoming freshman. After writing this paper, and reviewing another student’s paper, I feel that I can write a professional short report in the future.

Short Reports

• In Analysis Assignment 1, I had to analyze two websites on their material directed to their audience and their website maneuverability. After writing this paper I was better able to identify the problem, feasibility and the audience. I learned how to master this through AA1.

Proposals

• I have done many progress reports through constructing drafts for my writing assignments. When writing these drafts, I create a measurable report on what I have done and what work remains.

Progress Reports

Social Media…

I learned how social media is very alive in businesses today. Through the Analysis Assignment 4, I investigated how social media websites can inflict dire consequences on firms.

Why does this learning matter? Learning this information is significant because it not only helps

me in my daily writing for school, but it will prepare me for my career after college. Because I have written these memos, letters, and reports I will be able to communicate on a professional level to all future clients and subordinates.

How I utilize these learned skills…

Because I will one day want to run my own company, I need to start communicating better. These professional writing skills give me a platform to start on and give me the ability to grow.

Using these skills in day to day activities will make my future business tasks easier to complete.

Having a knowledge in business writing is a learned skill that most people do not have, with that, I know that this class has helped me to better develop my writing abilities.
