I am late again!
This blog has been placed at the bottom of my “to do” list. I think I have only made one of the deadlines. However, I just came to the realization that it needs to move up on the list. I thought it was more of a reflective laid back assignment and I somehow missed the part about the evaluations. Just as an aside is anyone else having any trouble with interpreting any of the assignments of this class? I hope I am not too late to salvage this module of the class. I am leaning great deal about formal writing that I have been hesitant to approach in the past. The Business Writer’s Handbook is very explicit and helpful in answering questions that I have. I will definitely keep a copy of it by my desk when I enter the work field. I will also be using it the remainder of my time in formal education.

ReplyDeleteYou're not the only one. Can I offer you a time management suggestion? Try to set aside 15-20 minutes a week to blog. Do it at the same time every week. I like to do this type of writing first thing in the morning as I drink my coffee. And then I read them every Monday night. If you make it a habit, you will be more likely to remember.
It's not too late to salvage your grade. Really, the purpose of the assignment is to document your semester process and thinking. Too often, we rely on the final product to be the end-all-be-all of grades. But what about the student who started out with little to no conception of business writing when he/she started and really started to question/investigate how language structures our workplace relationships at the end of the semester? Perhaps that same student still struggles with grammatical and stylistic conventions, but he/she could have learned a lot about workplace communication.
That said, a homework assignment will always be a homework assignment. I get that. But see if you can make it work for you and your experience.
