Wiki Entry

What was I asked to do?

For this assignment, I was put into a group with Connor Strang, and we were tasked to write a Wikipedia-like entry for a technical writing concept that did not already have a Wikipedia entry.

​

What did we do?

We selected Compressed Writing, and after researching the term in the context of technical communication, made the entry on it.

​

What did I learn?

 Since this was my first group assignment, most what I learned about was part of writing in a group. I learned that I need to write similar to my group-mate to keep consistency in the flow of the entry. I learned more about how to communicate with my group-mate to increase efficiency. Lastly, I learned a lot more about compression.

Sonic Warning

What was I asked to do?

For this assignment, we were tasked to create a sound byte that warned of an accident related to one of our majors, and we were not allowed to use words.

​

What did we do?

Since Connor's major was mechanical engineering, we went with a warning for getting injured by a motorized saw in the workplace.

​

What did I learn?

This was a very new assignment for me, I learned a lot about how to use audio software. I learned where to go to get public domain sound effects. I learned how to place sound bytes in the background and the foreground. most importantly, I learned about using familiar sounds to convey a message that would be recognizable to another person.
