Getting started up in here again. Hopefully we’ll get our quizzes from last week back. I think I did generally well, but I have questions about a few of the problems.Getting our first assignment tonight. Will be due at the end of class next week. Half the class period will be spent in the computer lab working on it, but that will not be enough time to do the whole thing.
We will be getting the pretest from last week back. Sounds like there were a lot of poor grades; the professor is trying to break the news gently. The grade for that assignment is apparently not related to the student’s performance; the test was diagnostic only.
Wow. Worse than I thought. Highest grade was in the eighty percent range. Only four people out of twenty-three scored sixty percent or above. I had eighty-eight. Class average was in the forties.
Routine Messages are what you’d expect. E-mail, memos, and letters are typically routine messages. Routine messages are day-to-day communication, without unusual significance.
Writing routine messages is not dissimilar to academic writing. The audience is typically some person or group you have a business or acquaintance level relationship, and who you communicate with regularly.
For business paragraphs, no more than eight lines per paragraph. No more than twenty words per sentence.
