One of the primary goals of this course is to help prepare you for success. The previous weeks introduced different topics to assist you with this, including motivation, grit, growth mindset, time management, and goal setting. This week focuses on another important topic: written communication. The ability to communicate effectively and with integrity is essential in the workplace, school, and daily life.

Reflect:

Think about how your written communication changes based on context. For example, in what ways are your work emails different from the messages you post on social media? Consider what you believe are your strengths and weaknesses with written communication and recall some specific examples of each. Are you good at making your point clear? Do you have a hard time preparing writing assignments, or do you regularly question your abilities?

Before you draft your response to this discussion, be sure to read through the Week 3 materials.

• Identify your greatest strength and your greatest weakness in regard to professional or academic written communication. Provide an example for each.
• What actions can you take to improve upon your writing weaknesses? Why do you believe these actions will help?
• explain the importance of academic integrity and explain what actions you can take as a student to demonstrate your academic integrity.
