Re: Reflection
At the beginning of the semester, I wasnt sure what to expect. One of the most
important things I learned over the course was understanding the circumstances in
technical writing that effect readers. What was most helpful was, C.R.A.P. I used this
many times during the semester in various papers. It proved to be quite useful as a
strategy to strengthen my Memos. Using the all the various steps in C.R.A.P. helped
me edit my papers and make sure they were in the correct format. The next thing I
thought that was important that I learned was headers. I had never really looked at
headers before. Using these strategies I was able to understand and fix problems that
could have become detrimental for my memos. I used a contrast in nearly every paper I
wrote over this semester and I truly believe that by using this strategy I was able to my
main point truly stand out.
I also learned about making different types of technical documents that helped
me be able to effectively edit other types of technical documents. Working in groups to
learn how to better collaborate and work with others to better learn how to revise and
edit and add them into our own writing process.
Overall I liked this course. It was very informative. From now on when I write a
memo and/or a Technical formatted paper I can use a repetition and make my memo
stronger. I can use alignment to format my document. It was very nice to have this
information and it will become useful in the future.
