Hello class, Ed Gossett here and it is a pleasure to meet you. Regarding this Technical Writing class, I feel I am most familiar with the research, and design aspect from personal and past work experience. I have some understanding of presentation for stakeholders, and ethics. I have been looking forward to this class and looking forward to enhancing my skills. I am very analytical, organized and have enjoyed my technical writing experiences so far, such as creating manuals. Would really enjoy having the opportunity of landing a few technical writing consulting projects, but it has been hard breaking into that field without the degree, or enough experience, additionally I do not know how to estimate the time for the project.

Examples of technical writing:
Below are some example of technical writing in my life. There is no order of importance, as they are all beneficial to me. For me technical writing has to be clear in it directives, photo or diagram as necessary, use common industry abbreviations, and provide troubleshooting section.

    Reflection Of ENG 111: Writing And Inquiry

    This semester in ENG 111: Writing & Inquiry, I was honestly excited by how much new information I discovered to aid in my writing ability. When reflecting upon the semester, I was happy to see how just how much I actually learned and also how much I have developed my writing skills. My writing, analytical thinking, and critical reading skills have advanced vastly throughout this semester, as I have learned a lot of new and invaluable skills to add to my mental stash of information to draw upon when it comes to the subject of English. It has been a long an interesting semester on a lot of levels, with more than a few obstacles making completing this class seem impossible; however, when you are dedicated and committed to excellence, anything…

    Composition 130: Improving My Writing Class

    Dear Professor Edwards, Last semester, I was a student at Colorado State University. I did not take English 121; however, I did take a class like it called Composition 130. Composition 130 was a great class that allowed me to transition easily from high school writing to college writing. I felt discouraged coming into the class at the beginning, but my writing improved tremendously after being in the class. The class was beneficial to me in several ways.…

    Reflective Essay: My Experience Of Adequate Writing

    Adequate writing was always a struggle for me because I struggled with coming up with topics to write about. Even when teachers gave us prompts to write about I struggled writing about them mostly because I thought writing was boring. Another reason I was discouraged by writing was I would spend hours at a time trying to come up with ideas for a prompt and would barely come up with any ideas to write about. Being a civil engineering major I see why writing is so important in my career field. My experience with writing has had its good moments and its bad moments.…

    Reflective Essay: The Complexity Of A Writing Class

    You would think a writing class would only teach you how to write papers, but not until college did I realize the complexity of a writing class where other than writing it integrates methods of research, reflection, and reading for instance I never realized the complexity of reading and what to simply look for when reading text. In high school the idea of talking to the text where writing notes on the side while reading normally gave me enough information to get by. Thus never grasping the complexity of the text because the means were unknown. It was not until I was introduced to the rhetorical situation diagram in 1020. Prior to the rhetorical situation diagram we were given an assignment where we were to interpret three different viewpoints central around a single argument about oil.…

    Comparing My Writing With Technology

    1. Technology have changed in multiple ways of how I communicate to other people, but the difference between myself and other generations, is that technology have always been available to me throughout my academic life so the opportunity to write professional letters in a formal mater barely comes up for me. But I have seen a huge difference between writing with a pen and pencil, and with technology. When writing with technology, I processes information much faster which causes me to write faster. The negative side of this is that it also increases the chance of mistakes and write less information needed for assignments.…

    My AP Writing Class

    I became an adult on Monday, June 15, 2015 during my AP Writing class, standing in the sweltering heat, completing 50% of my term 4 grade. It was a Moth presentation, based on the Moth radio hour. We all had to plan out a story to tell, something personal with a message that would resonate universally. I swallowed my fear and an illusion of pride, looked out at the teenagers I had spent years of classes with and, in short, told them the truth. For those five to seven minutes I let my façade slip…

    Advantages And Disadvantages Of Empowerment Theory

    As I would research one resource, I would think of another, and another, and ended up adding many more sub sections than I originally intended. What comes naturally to me (finding resource and supported to fit my needs), is an unknown area for some of the patients I worked with. I did not understand my limitations until presenting the guide to some of the patients leaving when they revealed they have never even called to make their own appointment before; how would they navigate with this guide? I had a few patients that did not know how to use the internet and a few that would not have access to a phone or the internet. After hearing some of these concerns, I added a resource on the guide that had computer and phone access spots for them to be able to use.…

    The Reflection Of Writing: The Process Of The Writing Process

    The writing process is different and unique to all individuals; many people follow the ideal steps of prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing as opposed to others taking shortcuts, skipping steps, and going straight to editing. The writing process is the course one takes to get from prewriting to the publication of their essay; since everyone is a different, their writing process will also be different. For me, I believe that following the ideal writing process steps are a tremendous help to organizing my essay and spacing out the work throughout the time the assignment is assigned. To begin writing an essay I must first prewrite; to prewrite is to brainstorm ideas from the prompt by outlining, diagramming, clusterings, or…
