Writing Skills 1 of 10

Writing Skills
1 of 10
Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.
Health professionals keep patient charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job, you’ll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.
So, by taking writing serious and doing your best on every research paper, every lab report you write, every new post you write in your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in, you’re preparing yourself for a good career.

"To see what is tight and not to do it is want of courage." Student Success Statment


Student Success Statement
“To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.”
-Confucius
This statement means that if you know you must do something that is the best thing to do and you don’t do it, it shows that you are a coward. This also shows that you need the courage to take steps in order to do what is right. Having the courage to do something will make you achieve anything in life and you will be a successful person.  For example if you want to become a teacher you need to have the courage to study what you need in order to become a successful person.  Studying what you need to study will be the right thing to do because it will lead you to a great path of success.

More Tips
Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.
·         Read the website’s home page and the About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organizations sponsoring it.
·         If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the Web.
·         Check the date. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.
·         Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.
·         Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and falsifying.
