It has been a pleasure being your student in this Business Communication class, I have gained many meaningful insights pertaining my writing skills, my team building abilities and most importantly, my professional image as a Kelley Business School student in Indiana University. My experience working with a diverse group of individuals for the Shred415 case competition has definitely enriched my global perspectives as I am able to learn various cultures from all over the globe such as Korea,…

I started out my WRD 104 class without really knowing how I write. My process was not defined and was very inefficient. Though the course of this quarter I have accomplished goals that I set and have learned not only how to be a better writer but I have a deeper understanding and appreciation of my process of writing. One of the goals I set at the start of the quarter was to learn what writing process best suits me instead of sitting at my computer staring at it blankly and hoping something…

Pre writing is the first phase associated with the writing process along with drafting, revising, editing, and publishing (Alber-Morgan, Hessler, & Konrad, 2007). I personally do not have a very in depth formal pre writing process. I begin each assignment by watching the weekly lecture and taking notes on things that pertain to the discussion post and complete section. Next, I write down various topics and contemplate them over night. I can formulate my ideas better whenever I physically…

Two weeks prior to the 2016 NFL Draft the Los Angeles Rams worked out a trade with the Tennessee Titans for the number one overall pick. The Titans had trade talks with both the Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles; however, it was the deal with Los Angeles that provided enough assets to strike a deal.

constantly rushed to finished pieces without going back to look them over. I believe that simple mistakes should have been caught in while reading over the essays. I missed many simple punctuation mistakes and have learned from those mistakes. My drafting process has remained unchanged I normally do not write rough drafts I do research and just begin writing. I do write my essays over a course of a few days to keep my ideas free-flowing. My revision process was poor, but developed as the year…

thinking of our founding fathers, humanism. Humanism itself is defined through four main points: freedom, reason, individuality, and equality. The tenants of Humanism found throughout our nation’s history ensure a hopeful and secure future. When drafting the constitution the founders wanted to preserve the liberties and freedoms of the American people. The American…

searches about the stances people assume on each issue. Once I had decided my topic, I found the research to be straightforward to find and analyze, as the issue is nuanced but also highly debated in modern political discourse. Consequently, the actual drafting of my argument and projects went smoothly and I was able to complete each assignment with relative ease; I sat at my computer and just wrote everything in one sitting. Conversely, editing was a difficult process as the vast majority of my…

The spring of 1823 would bring a new wave of missionaries to include, William Richards, his wife, and Charles Stewart, with his wife Harriet, and their African companion Betsey Stockton from the Second Company in Boston. These missionaries, along with many westerners, were weary of the Native Hawaiians as viewed in the journal of Betsey Stockton. An excerpt from the first interaction with the natives on April 24, 1823, defined the Hawaiian men who greeted the ship as “half man and half…

Learn, Discover, Think, and Try Here comes the end of this semester, and I really would like to reflect on my journey during the writing class. In the past three months, I feel like I have accomplished a lot not only as a student but also as a writer. From the textbooks, meta texts, assignments, readings, and multimodal texts provided this semester, I had the chance to read and learn a great variety of essay genres. These materials are so useful that helped improve my writing skills a lot. In…
