I could not agree more with the reading. Effective professional writing will become very important in everyone's future career. Actually, it should be very important now as we are all looking to land that great job or internship, or whenever we need to email a professor or teaching assistant about a class. I think that using this chapter will help you to create a resume fairly easily with the help of pages 221-227. Then you can analyze how well you put yourself on paper with the following pages.

Looking at the table of contents, I have a clear picture of what exactly I will be learning from the course. The main focus would be on how to write a specific and particular resume and a cover letter and how to communicate formally in today’s world. Looking at Part 4 of the book, I think citing sources is going to help me allot in the future. Citing sources is an essential part of any research work that we do. I am sure in my future job, I will have a lot of research work and taking someone else’s idea, and not citing the source would be ethically wrong.
