Another presentation that stood out to me was the one on fraud with cryptocurrency. It was interesting to learn about the negative effects that something that is becoming increasingly popular has on some individuals. #RHUB290

I liked the presentation on electric vehicles. It was interesting to learn about the growing market of this product especially now during a time where gas prices are at a high. #RHUB290

Steve Jobs used many visuals in order to enhance his presentation. He also made sure to use humor to continuously engage the audience. #RHUB290

@BBurk77 Hi Ben! I think that this graph is very beneficial to your group's research. Your topic sounds very interesting. #RHUB290

[Claire Theroux @ClaireTheroux2]

This graph displays where textile waster is sent every year. You can see that over half is sent to a landfill, whereas less than 5% is sent overseas to provide clothing to those who need it. #RHUB290

The article "How Businesses Use Information" taught me that data does not mean anything to a reader unless it is put into context. Information is data that is formatted to be understandable to all people. #RHUB290

@heavhd I love your description of a problem statement. It allows the reader to know what a report will be about right off the bat. It is specific and addresses any size problem. #RHUB290

For the project, our group is planning to analyze the effect that the show Shark Tank played on Scrub Daddy. The show allowed this small company to take off and has now become one of the most successful businesses to come out of Shark Tank. #RHUB290

Professional reports are something that I do not have a lot of experience in but these articles gave very detailed examples that will definitely help even a beginner with this type of writing. #RHUB290

[Claire Theroux @ClaireTheroux2]

After reading the article, I have become more aware of data collecting and how it can cause distrust between businesses and consumers. I also found the section talking about psychological marketing techniques very interesting. #RHUB290

[Claire Theroux @ClaireTheroux2]

I found Derek Thompson's very insightful. Consumers like products that are familiar to them and hence, are more inclined to purchase them. When something is new to the market, that can scare consumers and they are less likely to buy it. #RHUB290

@MoMcCloskey I agree that websites are necessary for any company that wants to reach a wider range of people. It gives people a glimpse at what the company sells and tells them about their mission. #RHUB290

[Claire Theroux @ClaireTheroux2]

I have experience with Weebly and it is very similar to other website generators and is fairly easy to use. I have used this website to promote recruitment for my sorority and also highlight a service project I did in high school. I feel like it would be effective. #RHUB290

[Claire Theroux @ClaireTheroux2]

In "How to Create a Website," it was interesting to read about the different "styles" of websites that should be used for different purposes. I never knew there were so many platforms to create websites and I know that all this information will be beneficial. #RHUB290

[Claire Theroux @ClaireTheroux2]

@ianwh58 I also found SAGE useful. It is amazing how many educational sources are stored on just the one website. #RHUB290

[Claire Theroux @ClaireTheroux2]

SAGE was super useful! It has so many resources for so many different topics and it is something I can see myself using for not only this class, but future courses as well. #RHUB290

@heavhd Hi Heaven! I chose the same prompt as you for the bad news letter. I like the part that you added at the end about upholding the companies reputation. You can't be too harsh or that will just give your company a bad image. #RHUB290

[Claire Theroux @ClaireTheroux2]

For my persuasive letter, I have decided to write a fundraising letter. I have some experience with fundraising and hope to go into non-profit management so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to practice. #RHUB290

[Claire Theroux @ClaireTheroux2]

One thing I really liked when reading "Writing to Persuade," was how they compared it to a sales pitch. No matter what you are trying to "sell," you need to write it in a way that makes the audience want to have it. #RHUB290

[Claire Theroux @ClaireTheroux2]

@ggracewick I agree that when delivering any sort of news, you need to be empathetic and understanding. I like that you added it on to the BEBE method for delivering bad news. #RHUB290
