I feel as though i leanred alot of important things in this class, but most importantly how to write a proper e-mail. I think with the age now with texting and all these abbreviations it becomes very easy to short hand information. This is fine when texting or e-mailing to a friend, but on a professional level this should not been done. Ivelearned how to give e-mails proper headings and subjects, aslo adressing people by the correct title is important too. I have already used knowledge i have gained about e-mail to email teachers about the up coming school year and the have responded back to me quicker more efficently .

This would be a job I would consider. Doing special effects for Independent horror films. Special effects has ALWAYS been something i was interested in and this would be a the perfect way to begin a career in the movie field. The director seems excited about the project and ambitious, he has long term and short term goals in place for the film which is enticing when it comes to independent films. He also is willing to pay small amount to the VFX artist which is a huge plus. I would imagine I am qualified right now because these sorts of jobs have no real training necessary just experience. And seeing as I have experience working in a couple of horror shorts myself, I believe I could land this job.

The section i found most interesting from pages 57 - 69 (Writing Collaboratively) was about critiquing a group members work. Even if if the intent his not to be rude and the rules listed on page 68 are followed through 100%,  you cannot disregard the human factor. When some one is putting their work out there for some one else to view its very easy to take every little critique as a personal attack on their spell, grammar, skill (at typing), or even intelligence. Considering the book states that " Knowing ho to [critique notes] without offending the writer is a valuable skill" it does not spend much time on it.

I went to Gates House this morning before class and picked up a large binded book, as well as some smaller brochures, aimed at prospective students for BSU. I plan on using mostly source for mydocument design as it has all the information I think  Iwill need for it; including pictures, quotes from students and alumni, stats, information extra curricular activities, and pictures. I will most likely suppliment this book with some information from the website, but seeing as I prefer to work with a physical book over a website it probably will not be much.

I feel like most of the information provided by the book in regards to pages 149-170 is fairly obvious. The arrangements the book provides us with seems to the pretty common even in the non-technical writing community.

One thing that i looked at that interested me was the activity on 145-148, the e-mail correspondents between a video game companies employees. . I can forgive everything 'David' had done wrong in his e-mail because 'Matt' and 'Sonja' was amazingly rude. David as the video game tester represents the companies demographic and therefor it is his job to ask the type of questions he's asking, granted he doesn't go about it in the most professional way, but he was hired to do one thing PLAY THE VIDEO GAME. It is the developers responsibility to take the information; questions, concerns, plot inconsistencies (Giant radio active Bugs being harmed by radiation). But Sonja and Matt's response were unnecessarily rude. Sonja response to David's first question " I dont know", how could the game developer NOT KNOW a question that could completely change the dynamics of the game? There is a huge difference to having only 1 player use a monster versus any amount of players using the same monster. That seems like a complete lack of effort and a lack of caring from the game developer. Matt responds "My job is to write the code, not do your job for you" if the man that represents their client base is having issues it's their responsibility to fix it. Not only that Sonja recommended that David ask Matt these question. Before we all look a David at being unprofessional we need to remember what this man was hired to do, play a video game and give relay his information. By mentioning he wants to leave early for the weekend is extremely foolish, but the way in which the game developers and code writers respond is even worse they are the ones that should be held to higher professionalism that what they have shown.
