Subject: Evaluation of a Microsoft Word Template
Date: June 8, 2017

The purpose of this memo is to present my impressions of a template on Microsoft Word. The goal of the template is to give the user an easy way to create their own cover letter.
Summary
In general, I think the template itself is very effective in being clear and giving the user an easy way to create their own cover letter

Discussion
In Microsoft Word, there is a template called "Polished cover letter," designed by MOO. In this template, you are able to simply plug in your information and turn it in with your application for a job. It is clear and professional looking. The template seems straight forward and one page. You are able to easily locate the fundamental sections needed in every cover letter. The template is user-friendly and easy to use for essentially all users. If I were to change the template to improve it, I would delete the initials on the top left corner of the template, as for I see it useless and takes away from the rest of the letter.


Recommendation
If I were to change the template to improve it, I would delete the initials on the top left corner of the template, as for I see it useless and takes away from the rest of the letter.

DD9HW2 Reflect on PR

Being a pretty novice writer trying to improve my writing skills, I can see some problems with my paper. First of all, I can work on the flow of my column. I should include an introductory paragraph to introduce the audience to what I am about to discuss in the column. Second of all, I can work on expanding my vocabulary to entice to readers to read further. Lastly, I can try to make it more understandable by making references the audience would understand.

DD6HW2 Brainstorm

Brainstorm What graphics are important to your field? Most engineering firms have logos/brands and they want their brand to be widely known. Graphics in terms of Charts can be very helpful. Charts such as a Bar Chart can be very helpful. When presenting to a group of people information, they'd rather see a bar chart representing the data you chose instead of seeing boring numbers. How graphics are important to your field? Just like a Bar Chart, you can represent data in a more visual way instead of looking at numbers. When it comes to manuals/instructions, people would rather see a visual with the parts being place together, as it is easier and has less confusion than a verbal description. Why graphics are important to your field? Graphics can save space and communicate steps in a process more effectively than words alone(like described earlier) Presenting information in a paragraph is uneconomical and makes the information hard to remember. Presented as a table however, t
