Question: Please write me a four-section reflection on how the week has gone for you. Here are three criteria of success:
- Use a visually clear layout, for example, contrasting type styles--sans serif and serif--for headings and body text. Please note that using the same size of type in a sans serif typeface (such as Arial) produces a slightly larger size for your headings than your body text.
- State your main point in your opening paragraph, followed by a SWOC blueprint (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Challenges). Please see the prompts listed below for guidance.
- Keeping in mind that we're practicing workplace writing in this course, aim for a concise document. Within each of your four main sections, however, use as many paragraphs as you have points to make. Use these paragraph breaks to reveal slight shifts in topic--that is, make only one point in each paragraph.
