3 sources


3 Sources

  1. Marketing at the interface not Why, but How
      1. For my first source, Marketing at the interface not why, but how is a source online. I am planning on interviewing a person who is in my marketing field. I figured getting a source from a marketing journal will help me get a better understanding of the writing, along with my person I interview. I plan on analyses the tone of the journal, along with finding out the type of audiences the writer it talking to. I pan on comparing the similarities and differences between the article and the interview.
  2. A study of accounting curricula
      1. For my second source, A study of accounting curricula, I plan on analyzing the online article. Along with interviewing someone from the accounting field. I plan on comparing the tone and style of the Marketing article with the accounting earlier. I will get a better understanding of how different fields have a different writing style. I will be able to identify the similarities and difference of the tone of each of the different fields.
  3. House hold Finance
      1. For my final source, I chose a journal about house hold finance. This article is a nonacademic article. This article is made for any audience. I plan on comparing the style of writing from a nonacademic finance article to an academic article or an interview with a person who works in finance. I will express the differences between an academic and nonacademic writing style by doing this, I will not only understand the writing style and tone of this specific field, I will also understand this difference in tone with a nonacademic and academic piece of writing.

Major 1 writting assignment


The first paper for Rhetoric talks about your profession. Students need to meet with people from their specific major and ask questions to benefit their understanding about that major. While meeting with the person of choice, each student is asked to analyze different writings that pertain to that specific field.  By doing so, the students will get a feel how writing varies with different majors. For example, a doctor would write differently than an elementary teacher because of the audience they are presenting to. Each profession has a different style of writing, depending on their specific focus of study.

For this specific assignment, when we interview people, can it be over the phone? 

What are some good starting questions to ask my person?

What day do you recommended starting the interviews?
