This major project of the course explore this broad category of business communication genre: (1) genres related to your personal identity (e.g. resumes, cover letters, other job materials), Rather than produce this genre, the major project should examine how this genre works and why it is the way its portrayed, using one of the following methods; YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE TOPIC BELOW( historical comparison, technology network, interview a practitioner, case study, propose a innovation) ( AND RELATE IT TO GENRES TO YOUR PERSONAL IDENTITY.) (e.g. resumes, cover letters, other job materials) ● Historical Comparison: Find a 30+ year-old example of your genre and compare it to a contemporary version. Select examples that let you say something interesting about the comparison. ● Technology Network: Map out the infrastructure of relationships involved in the production and implementation of your genre, including the entities (processes, technologies, objects, people, and so on) that make up the network. ● Interview a Practitioner: Contact someone who works in a field you’re interested in and who frequently engages with (writes or reads) your genre in a professional context. Interview them about their experiences and knowledge about your genre. ● Case Study: Find an interesting real-world situation/event (more than just an interesting example) involving your genre, provide an overview and context, and explain the relevance and implications. ● Propose an Innovation: Create a detailed proposal that would change how the genre functions and/or how it is used. The proposal should be targeted at a specific real-world “client” or audience. The method you choose should be a central component of your project, but it is not an end unto itself. Your project should leverage the method you choose in service of a larger purpose that explores some interesting feature of the type of communication you’re writing about, and should make it clear what this all means and why it matters. You can produce any type of document that allows you to meet your goals for the project—as long as it isn’t a generic assignment-style 12 point, double spaced document. Projects will all be graded based on the following general criteria. ● Purpose: Projects should have a unique purpose that you invent and that is made clear in the document itself. Projects should have a reason for existing beyond just a selection of assignment parameters. ● Focus: Projects should maintain a unified focus on a central theme or claim. ● Organization: Projects should have a structure that logically develops and that is made clear in the document itself. ● Support: Assertions and information should be supported with evidence and citations as appropriate to develop a robust foundation. ● Design: Projects should be created with design in mind; visual and textual functions should synergize with each other. PROJECT SHOULD BE AT LEAST 2000 WORDS.
