Homework 9/25

2.1) If I was applying for a summer job while in college but the job I was applying for was a “continuing, full-time position” it would be unethical for me to withhold the fact that I would only be working in the summer before returning to college. An ethical way of applying at this job would to leave a few sentences on your application explaining the situation I am in and if there is anyway to get a part time summer job. Not letting the employer know about my schooling would be bad candor meaning truthfulness.

2.2) With six departments condemning the sale of Simple Study Guides, I think it would be a good idea to listen to the departments. If six departments do not want the book to be sold, then these departments will not advise purchasing this book causing the books sales to be much lower then what the bookstore head has seen in other stores.

3.1) Outline work.

3.2) I choose the template for a business letter. The template is very simple and has all the need information laid out for you to fill in. It is lacking some extra information that someone might want to put in the letter but it can easily be added. There is a small design on the top and bottom that can have the colors changed to match the businesses or of the like. Overall this template is very simple yet effective for business letters.

4 - Document Analysis

1.     The tone of the comments made on this document are very condescending and do not do much to help the writer. These comments should have tips and helpful ideas in them.

2.     The collaborator does not do a good job at addressing the larger issues. They should be more concerned with if a reader will know what the piece is about, and if the reader can make sense of the piece. There is a bunch of random information throw together without much thought.

3.     The collaborator does address the writing more then he addresses the writer. There are questions about what certain things mean and how they could be explained better.

4.     The collaborators comments do an awful job on focusing on the goal of the document. Instead there are comments that are short and worthless considering what else needs to be worked on in this document. This document needs to better explain the situation and what is being done.
