Technical communication refers to communication in the workplace. Success in any type of career is partially based on how well one can write, speak to colleagues, supervisors, clients, and the public.
My ability to perform everyday tasks such as writing memos, e-mails, instructions, reports, and presentations will be helpful as a member of an organization. Communicating to outside organizations in the form of letters, web writing, research, and articles will most likely be necessary as well.
The samples posted on my website represent graded class assignments and group projects:

Proposal to Revise the Academic Dishonesty Policy
Mr. Thomas Dunn
Student Senate President
Dear Mr. Dunn:
I am a junior studying
Communications and Public Relations. I am writing to you to propose a revision
of the existing Academic Dishonesty policy at Shippensburg University
I have reviewed the Dishonesty
Policy in the student handbook, the Swataney. Our current policy seems to be
that of the Stone Age in comparison to both our neighboring state schools and
nationwide colleges and universities. I found no equivalent in Shippensburg’s
Dishonesty Policy when comparing it to other schools academic integrity
policies. We lack a traditional honors code to begin with. Now that
others have modified honor codes, Shippensburg is left in the
dust.
You may contact me with any questions
or comments in regard to my proposal.
Sincerely,
(Ship Room Raters Project ) Status Report

Purpose
This
is a status report based on the current progress we have and are making on our
website.
Summary
We
have been accumulating research on potential Shippensburg off-campus housing
through websites and surveys handed out to current students. We have begun to
work on the website and we are currently about half way done. We have completed
the home page as well as the individual homepages for the individual sites
contained within. We still have to analyze the data from the surveys we have
received back and include it in our website. We are currently on schedule to
complete the website and present it to the class on December 11, 2009.

Memo: Audience Comparisons Kia vs. BMW
To: Dr. Carla Kungl
From: Beth Weyer

Re: Audience Comparisons, Kia vs. BMW
The purpose of this memo is to contrast the target audiences of print advertisements for BMW and Kia. The criteria for which the audiences will be compared include differences in economic means, age, attitude, and lifestyle- all of which are inferred or blatantly portrayed in the distinct messages of the two brands through writing and creative design.
Summary
In comparing the two advertisements, Kia has a stronger visual with the use of color and creative images. BMW’s edge is expressed in the copy of the advertisement.

Memo Rolling Stone Article Design Analysis
From: Beth Weyer
Date: 11/29/2009
Re: Rolling Stone Magazine, Pink
This memo will analyze two pages among a six page feature about pop singer Pink in September’s issue of Rolling Stone magazine. I will be examining the spread against major features of designing a document found in chapter 12 of our text book. After discussing the three most successful design elements used- columns, pull quotes, and graphics- I will suggest how two particular pages could be designed differently.
