"Because of the professional manner of
this class the format for some of the documents was relatively new. Thank you letters,
memos, and the annotated bibliography were not new forms of writing. However, the
proposal, the research literature report, the progress report, and the PowerPoint
presentation were all new. All of these formats are used in the professional world
and the experience gained here will allow for continued growth as a professional writer.
Another area of preparing a professional document is the assessment of audience.
It was noted that different styles, tones, and manners were used depending on who
would be the primary reader of the paper. This helps the writer focus the document
and allows them to share their information in a concise manner."
May, 1999 "Because professional writing is highly
structured it was essential to learn the format for memos, business letters, reports,
and APA bibliographies. The knowledge of these formats will benefit me greatly, allowing me to
express myself through words more effectively. I am especially grateful to
know the format for the business letter as this was used in
thanking my two professionals for their help in providing me with information.
I see myself using all of these formats to a greater
extent as I enter into the professional world.
