This assignment involves keeping a journal recording, a blog, of what you considered “The Top 5” topics covered in this week’s readings. Then present an effective argument why you considered the chosen topics the most pertinent of the chapters read. Making an argument is expressing a point of view on a subject and supporting it with evidence, is often the aim of academic writing. The blog involves examining and discussing how and why “The Top 5” topics relate to your past/future work/non-work situations. The purpose of this assignment is to ensure you take a little time once a week to reflect, so as to improve an understanding of yourself, your interpersonal skills, and your professional growth and development.
Each blog should be a minimum of 500 words but not to exceed 800 words.
