EGL 1340 Complete the following
reading and writing assignments before the first meeting (February 3). All
reading is from Technical Communication in
the Twenty-First Century, 2nd edition, except as noted.
Reading:
The calendar lists the dates we will discuss each chapter, except for Chapter 14.
Chapter 14 discusses the résumé and application (cover) letter, which are due on the
first day of class. Read this chapter on your own. You will be quizzed on it.
Writing (due February 3):
1.
After reading
Chapter 14, write a résumé (either
chronological or functional)
and application letter responding to
a real job advertisement. You must
submit the advertisement with the assignment. Each document should follow
the formats discussed in the textbook. Pay particular attention to "You"
attitude (review this in the chapter on “Correspondence”). {Do
NOT include references as part of the
résumé; this is not common, though the textbook shows it.} I will grade each
document separately.
2.
Write a
memorandum (following, as best as you
can, proper memorandum format), addressed to me, which does the following:
a.
Introduces
yourself to me (i.e., where you are from originally, where you live, your
favorite dessert, and so on; please do
not list your actual street address)
b.
Explains what you
are studying, and why (e.g., your major)
c.
Explains what you
expect to get out of this class, and what you plan to put into this class (other
than an ‘A’)
3.

print a Certificate of Completion. Submit that certificate to me on February
3.
Without the completed certificate, I will not accept any assignments
from you.
