Subject: Over usage of the companys copy machine for personal copies.
The purpose of this memo is to alert all employees that the budget for the copy machine is several hundred dollars over budget and the solution to this problem.
Summary:
This memo is to alert employees that (1) the budget to the copy machine is way over the companys budget and (2) describes the solution for employees to fix this problem.
Discussion:
Lilly Ponds, the personal manager, has repeatedly told all employees of the Koller Construction Company to stop using the copy machine for personal use. This has lead to the copy machine budget consistently being over budget by several hundred dollars.
Lilly has asked me to formally inform all employees of the problem at hand and to come up with a brief, feasible plan that will slow the number of personal copies made on the photocopying machine. The plan I have come up with is that everyone will get a personal number that they enter in order to run the copy machine. Everyone will a have the same number of copies that they will be allowed each month. At the end of the month I will get a print out from the copy machine with your number and the number of copies you have made. If you are over your number, that amount will come out of your pay check.
Conclusion:
In conclusion due to the copying machine budget being over budget by several hundred dollars a new plan has been implemented to try to solve this problem. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or other possible ideas to fix this problem.

Dear Mr. Staffelbach:
I recently came across the job opening for the position of Senior Project Designer to develop creative and functional design solutions. I would like to be considered for this position, and I hope that you find my experience thus far to be just what the job needs.
As you well know, Texas Tech is a FIDER accredited university. It has a wonderful group of professors who share their knowledge of interior design concepts and principles to students not only for college work, bur prepare them for the job market. The classes I have taken from Texas Tech have helped me to gain knowledge that I know would be useful and put to great use in this job position. My background in architecture as well as Communication and English classes also strengthens my qualifications in interior design even further.
I have worked with S. Burns Design before, throughout my college career, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my experience. I learned not only how to incorporate the present items in a clients home, but I learned the importance of working towards what the client wants, while also incorporating what will look best. Working on the commercial side of the field helped me to realize that I would love working mainly in commercial or hospitality.
I would love the chance to get to meet with you to discuss my application. At your convenience, please feel free to call me at (713) 560-1116, or feel free to email me at Sweetie1473@aol.com. Thank you for your time.

Instruction Sets Reflection

ENGL 2311-003/008

March 26, 2008
Assignment Reflection 3
Reflecting on my work from this assignment; Instructions, I had to identify my audience and an appropriate content level for my audience. I identifies a goal or purpose for the set of instructions I had to clearly give with an appropriate amount of information, not too long, but not too vague. An important part was to identify the safety and warning issues associated with the goal of my instructions, and end with an identifiable conclusion and any trouble shooting instructions that might happen. The Design of the document was another important part of this assignments work. Visual graphics, spacing or white space on the page, a professional looking document of alignment, contrast; bold, italics, colored font, and repetition to get a point across to the reader.
My invention process for this assignment was to first come up with a conclusion, and possible warnings the reader should know, the materials or items the reader would need, the progressive steps to follow to safely and successfully make a grilled cheese sandwich.
How I determined if my topic functioned more successfully as an instructions set is I went and read back over my instructions document, checked the tone, font, color, graphics and if they were appropriate and went well with the instructions, the quality of the graphics, and the chunking of the instructions.
How my audience influenced the rhetorical and visual design of my assignment is that I had to consider the different types of audiences; the language they might speak and what they might all ready know, and along with the kind of tone I would write my instructions in.
The course goals that I feel I encountered in completing this assignment were analyzing communication contexts rhetorically by understanding audiences, purposes, and situations. This was shown through my understanding of the kind of audience my instructions were intended for. This was also achieved through the type of tone in which I wrote my instructions. I also encountered the goal of creating technical documents that solve problems and improve situations through communication. This was shown by the troubleshooting part of the document. I also included warnings, suggestions, and notes to make the reader aware of and avoid the problems that could go wrong. The last goal I encountered was to design convincing and usable documents and communicating effectively, in this case, through written communication, with diverse audiences in this assignment. I had to consider the audience and the visual aids that were used to help communicate to the reader what the instructions were saying.

Directions

2. Turn your stove top over head fan on before starting or open a window to avoid setting off your smoke detector.
3. Put your pan on the stove and preheat it on the lowest setting of the stove top, and put about 1 Tablespoon of butter, margarine, or canola oil into the pan.
4. While your pan is preheating take the pieces of bread and lay them flat on a clean counter surface or plate.
5. Slice or cut enough of your preferred choice of cheese in thin slices to cover both pieces of bread.
6. Once you have your cheese sliced, layer the cheese evenly on one slice of bread, then place the other piece of bread on top.
7. Place your sandwich in the pan and turn the heat setting up to medium
- Note: Don’t cook your sandwich on high because you will toast the bread
before the cheese is done melting.
8. Occasionally flip the sandwich over with the spatula to evenly cook both sides. After each flip use your spatula to press down on the sandwich while it is cooking to get an even amount of cheese throughout the sandwich.
9. Once both sides of the sandwich are light brown, use the tip of your spatula to cut the sandwich in half to make sure the cheese is melted.

In -Class Assignment on MLA & APA Style
Part I:
1. What is MLA style? A main aspect of the MLA Style is that the bibliography section is called works cited. MLA stands for the modern Language Association and is the most commonly used method of writing and citing resources used in ones document. This style also gives a system to writers to cite their reverences in parenthesis as a form of citation in their documents and Works Cited Page. Through the usage of proper MLA writing, writers build their credentials by showing that they know how to write in the MLA style. This style also gives protection to writers from plagiarism which is a serious offense and also to keep their credibility of the essay
2. Write a 150-200 word paragraph on a topic chosen from the following topics:
Topic: Document design in technical communication
The document design of writing in MLA format is an organized to display ones information in a document. According to McMoris, there is a typical structure that one follows when writing a document or an essay (McMoris). There is a thesis sentence that starts out the introduction paragraph, main body paragraphs about the topic introduced in the introduction paragraph, and then a conclusion over the subject at hand. The intro should be the topic you are writing about the body paragraphs should be descriptions or different point of views of the topic. You need to keep in mind your audience and content when writing your document or essay. If you are using a quote, direct sentence or paragraph, you need to be sure to always cite where you got the information from (Markel 581).

Part II:
1. What is APA style? According to Markel, “APA style consists of two elements: the citation in the text and the list of references at the end of the document. (p. 582)
According to McMoris (2006), APA (American Psychological Association) is most commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences.
