Advice

As a student of Anglea Roger's english 304 business writitng class there are only a few things to worry about. First, although the work is not that difficult you should make sure to keep on track and just to complete every assignment. She does not grade very hard, but will penalize your for not completing your assignments. When you get into your groups for the big semester long project make sure you will be compatable with everyone becuase you will be working with them quite a bit. Lastly, just go to class to make sure you do not fall behind, I guess this is true for any course though.

eithical lapses

I believe this was a very interesting article to read, but wish they would have given some actual examples of ethical lapses in the work place. Sexual harrassment, poor treatment, racism or sexism.... just give me some kind of example so I know exactly what kind of eithical lapses we are talking about here. Overall the article was very good in describing the statistics of this problem found in workplaces throughout America. It is quite intersting to hear this from a study becasue I have heard about such problems from people I know in their own work environment. To combat this problem communication lines must be opened and remain easy for employees to talk to each other and their managers. If not these ethical lapses will continue to go undetected and the frustration levels will continue to rise in the workplace.

web v. paper

I believe that writing on the web and on paper are very similar because both relay the thoughts and feelings that the writer is trying to convey or tell to the reader. No matter how the words are relayed (typed or handwritten) the meaning will not really change, although handwritten letters can be much more personal than typed. They are different in the fact that typing can be faster because of the technology used such as microsoft word. Programs such as word will correct mistakes automatically, perform spell check, and give suggestions for words and phrases. Writing on paper lends itself to many more gramatical errors and can be sloppy and unlegible. When converting a handwritten document to the web the format would be the most important thing to keep in mind so the style and meaning are not changed.
