Apple developers should follow this guide for assistance with any text that they will implement…

THEORY OF WRITING: ITERATION III In my first theory of writing iteration, I stated that writing was communication with words. For writing to be effective, it had to fulfil a purpose and conveyed a message successfully. Although I still believe this to be true, I also declared that effective writing involved correct usage of grammar, spelling, punctuation, organization, etc. No longer agreeing with this statement, it was the initial concept that challenged the way I view effective writing that…

Ms. Boyett, I apologize for the length of time it has taken me to respond. When investigating matters such as this I like to be as thorough as possible. If memory serves me correctly, I believe there were two primary concerns that you expressed in our initial conversation. The first was regarding the process of disseminating information to the class. According to my notes of our phone conversation you asserted that Mr. York has neglected to integrate power point presentations into the…

At the beginning of the year I was really nervous about taking your Composition 1 class. You see, writing papers was never one of my strong traits. Looking back on this semester, I can see just how much my writing has improved. I went from being a writer who stressed over every tiny detail of a paper into someone who feels more confident in her writing to actually start enjoying what I put in my papers. Even though I stressed over every detail in my writing I still lacked a lot of the knowledge…

My first essay was…
