One of the primary goals of this course is to help prepare you for success. The previous weeks introduced different topics to assist you with this, including motivation, grit, growth mindset, time management, and goal setting. This week focuses on another important topic: written communication. The ability to communicate effectively and with integrity is essential in the workplace, school, and daily life.
Think about how your written communication changes based on context. For example, in what ways are your work emails different from the messages you post on social media? Consider what
you believe are your strengths and weaknesses with written communication and recall some specific examples of each. Are you good at making your point clear? Do you have a hard time preparing writing assignments, or do you regularly question your abilities?
Before you draft your response to this discussion, be sure to read through the Week 3 materials.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words.
Identify your greatest strength and your greatest weakness in regard to professional or academic written communication. Provide an example for each.
What actions can you take to improve upon your writing weaknesses? Why do you believe these actions will help?
In your own words, explain the importance of academic integrity and explain what actions you can take as a student to demonstrate your academic integrity.
My greatest strength in regards to my academic written communication at my workplace is that I always organize my ideas before writing emails or reports. Use of short and well structured sentences which consists of correct use of grammar and spelling check in order to keep my audience focus. For instance at work whenever I write an email either to my managers or patient's family I make sure its as formal as possible. Monthly reports are clear and concise writing so whoever reads it is able to understand the information. On the other hand my greatest weakness is the repetition of words and sentences. As English is my second language it makes me harder to think of substitute words. For example going over and over the same point as this makes the reader less focus.
Actions which I can take to improve my writing weaknesses is to take English classes such as TOEFL or IELTS. This will help me to motivate myself to read a lot of academic articles and books. Hence to summaries and write the passage in my own words as this will give me more knowledge and more ideas to express myself.
To me academic integrity means being honest, fairness and responsible of your own school work
so others can trust you. It is important as it will add value to my degree when I am able to apply my knowledge at my workplace in future. Devoting enough time towards my assignment so I don't feel anxiety , avoid cheating , plagiarism such as properly referencing my work. Also making use of the recourses available specially discussing with my class instructors, student services, friends and other support groups in my community. Finally I would like to a proud and responsible graduate from University of Phoenix.
