Philosophy of a Student

As a student, I plan on doing exceptional work in order to further my writing ability.-I like to do a sufficient job on work instead of doing what is necessary.-Knowing what the professor wants and emulating that throughout my work is another importantaspect.When writing, the bare minimum is not good enough in order to gain something through the class.

Types of Correspondence

When I communicate to others I typically will use e-mail, cellular phone, or use letters if I can't contactthe individual. E-mail is my most frequent correspondence tool especially when I need to ask my professor a question. With e-mail, it is very informal and easy to communicate to a professor that might be difficult to talk to.I also use e-mail to talk to my previous employer and family in Ohio. Due to my employers older age,the only technology he has mastered is e-mail and the internet. This communication allows me to stayon top of various landscaping projects he is completing and different electrical work that his companyis doing. I also use my cell-phone in order to relay a message or ask a question that needs an answer immediately. I most frequently would do this when planting shrubs at work. Due to the intricatemethods of landscaping, it was common to forget where to put the plants and flowers. A simple call tomy boss allowed for an easy, informal response in order to finish the job.Letters are another type of correspondence that I frequently use. In order to start a project at work, Ihad to relay the message through a letter to the foreman of our union. Since he arrived at work at 5amand I didn't have to arrive till 7, I would leave a letter at the end of the day to tell him what we neededto complete on the job. This is a very timeless and effective form of communication due to how lettersto superiors have a formal setup and design. I liked to do this because my company became more productive and efficient.Although I mentioned a few types of communication I use, there is a myriad of choices whencorresponding to others.
