Capstone CheckPoint

During this course I have learned the different types of technical communications used in the business world. I now know the difference in the communications, and what type of audience each communication is written for.

Types of Audience

I have learned to pay attention to the type of audience being written to when communicating and their multicultural differences. I have learned how to avoid sexist language and how to deal with diversities if presented within my company.

Formatting

I have learned how to format communication documents and reports. In doing so, I have learned to make good use of white space, use headings and certain fonts while paying attention to page setup in creating the document. In addition to formatting, I have learned the prewrite, write, and rewrite process of creating documents of communication and reports.


User Manuals

I have learned how to create and write a user manual with graphics and step-by-step instructions.
