This is an academic article that was posted in the new york times about business. This article is technically speaking about the way businessmen and women speak in the field. They talk using words that are less understanding for most people who are not in this intended field. I would use this article as an understanding of how to use certain words with my intended audience. This is a shorter article about business.

This article is a non-academic journal article. It explains why the business field is struggling because of the education that we are getting. I would be able to use this source to use language that makes sense and have more of an understanding of the things I would need to know to write to a directed audience.

 This is an academic piece since it's a book about business. This book explains all about the process of business management and what is necessary for the field. This would be useful to be able to write the way a business major would write. They have many chapters about the process of business management and the critical success factors for it as well.

This is a non-academic piece which shows how to be more competitive in the business management field. This would be useful in writing because there has to be a sort of competitive side to every writing piece that I write. For the most part I will need to write emails and that sort of thing but knowing how to word them is the most important part of the job.

Introduction and Methods

Introduction   Research has been conducted time and time again about the importance of sleep on academic performance. It is said that sleep is crucial when talking about school work and performance for students. College students specifically go through a transition from high school when they are on a set sleep schedule  and veer away from it.  This transition might make college students think they can stay up later because they don’t have parents telling them what to do. This leads to the question ,  is sleep affecting the academic performance of college students? A survey was conducted to see just how many college students feel their performance is affected by sleep. The results of this can be eye opening for college students and their sleep schedules  along with their grades and GPA.    Greg  Voakes , author of the article  The Importance of Getting Sleep in College , said that college students need to be getting on average of 8.5...

First Assignment due 8/22

For this assignment I understand that we will be learning about how to write in the context of our intended fields of study. Interviewing people who have already gone through the field know what they're doing and are able to help better understand what you need to know and how you need to write according to what they do. The reason for looking at other pieces of writing and analyzing them is to better understand what they did good and bad so that you learn from their writing and create a strong piece of writing. For example, in my english class in high school we always looked at good pieces of writing and took away the best parts of the piece so that we could use that as an outline almost for our own writing. This helped so much because you're able to see strong pieces of writing but also poor pieces and learn what not to do. This assignment also gives us an understanding that there will always be some sort of writing style we will need to use and be familiar with no matter wha...
