Sign up for our 20-hour workshop today. No matter why we write, we must always remember who makes up our audience.
Communicating is a two-way process.
The second is its receipt. It is inherent upon the writer to be sure the message is transmitted clearly and concisely so that it will be received in the manner intended. If we were writing a love letter, we would want to be sure that our intended clearly understood our message. If we were writing a memorandum to request the Purchasing Department order a software package on our behalf, we would want to be sure they understood exactly what the package was and when we needed it. Writing a course paper, thesis, or dissertation is no different.
