SLO 5: Written Communication

Due to my current line of work in real estate, I do a lot of communication over emails, and one
thing I try and do is be and sound as professional as possible when I communicate. Especially
with clients, as I am the professional who they are working with, and I should act as such. So, I
felt like this helped me create the first and third project especially, I did my best not to include
extra information that was not needed and stick to the main points. If your work is long and
boring, someone may not read the entirety and may miss important parts.

This is especially important in emails; you need to stick to your main points and keep them
concise. If emails are lengthy and include extra information, one may skip through parts of it
because they see a long lengthy email. Once they start skipping through parts of the email, you
as the writer have failed. Your viewer may now miss important parts of your email; therefore, it
is important to keep your emails concise and clear, do not include unnecessary information. I
place incredible importance on effective communication, unless you are having a casual
conversation, whoever you are emailing will greatly appreciate if you communicate effectively.

In project one, my focus was similar, however, I had much more information to convey, and I
was not restricted to a short email. I still tried to keep my paper concise and not include excess
information. My goal in this project was to keep the reader engaged as much as possible. I did
this by excluding information that I felt sidetracked the reader and by sticking to my main points.

In all, I feel confident in my written communication and these projects served as some extra
practice and gave me a different medium in which to write.
