I thought that the group covering Cryptocurrency did a great job in breaking down a complex concept. I for one was not very knowledgeable on the subject so this helped in explaining both the good and the bad of it all to me while keeping me engaged at the same time. #RHUB290

I found the group that covered GEs to be both compelling and interesting, as their ideas of alternative course methods is something that I have thought about before. It made for a curious conversation about whether the general college design can be improved. #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

@RAiem02 I completely agree. Visuals go hand in hand with your content and can be incredibly powerful tools for keeping your audience engaged and listening. They keep things on track and provide a structured outline to the presentation as a whole. #RHUB290

What stood out to me about Steve Jobs’ presentation was the simplicity of it all. The visuals were kept to the basics and there was minimal use of text. Even his speech was relatively simplistic, focusing on the importance of features rather than spewing technical jargon #RHUB290

The picture below demonstrates a snapshot of the scope of impact that the fast fashion industry has in the world. Millions are overworked and underpaid to produce cheap clothing that is sold for immense profits across the globe, often under terrible conditions. #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

The fashion industry is one of the largest contributors of pollution, producing nearly 10% of global carbon emissions and 20% of wastewater. These numbers are only rising due to the prevalence of fast fashion culture, just one of the many issues in the industry today. #RHUB290

@RAiem02 Hi Rhys, I think that our group idea is coming along well with centering on the ethical dilemmas of the fashion industry and what to do to fix them. There’s certainly plenty there to address and work on #RHUB290

A problem statement is important in creating a business report because it instantly sets a precedent for your statement and engages the reader into the topic, providing incentive for them to read your report. In my group’s case we will be centering on ethics in business. #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

Each of the reports notably has a professional tone and clearly informs the readers of the information conveyed through a distinct and evident organization of events and sections, as well as statistics and graphs, in order to effectively catalog their statements. #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

@gdambra1145 That was a really interesting concept for sure! Gradually progressing rather than implementing a starkly new idea leaves room for the general consumer to be more comfortable with the product since it feels less alien, in turn leaving room for more funding opportunity. #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

The 1827 Marketing article provides insight into the less than stellar aspects of social media, namely the spread of misinformation and ethically questionable data collection. In particular, misinformation is a troubling challenge to my business for a number of reasons. #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

My takeaway from Thompson’s article is to find an optimal balance between newness and familiarity in order to promote a product that will have as large a market as possible. A bigger audience means more sales after all. #RHUB290

@CLopez0324 I started using Wix for my website as well and thought the exact same thing. Their layout is really helpful for starting out and everything feels very beginner friendly. I personally have little experience with website building and Wix has been great so far #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

I started working on my website in Wix and was amazed at how simple they make the process. Everything is intuitively designed to help you produce the best product possible with as little struggle as possible. #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

The article “How to Create a Website” provides the blueprints for website building and a number of resources that help you develop your ideal presentation. The most important part is to create an identity for your brand and make sure your message is apparent to clients. #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

@RAiem02 I think that sounds like a great idea Rhys! While there are already a lot of industry leaders, the concept is still fairly new so I’m sure that you’ll be able come up with an interesting way to stand out among the crowd. #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

A research tool that I found to be incredibly helpful is SAGE. The ability to comb through countless credible books and sources all in one place will be invaluable when researching information for my topic. #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

A business that I would want to promote is some form of fashion label centered on sustainability and e-commerce. Both are areas that are rapidly improving and expanding currently and are concepts that I am passionate about. #RHUB290

[Evan Weiss @EWeiss002]

@SelbyMicah I’m working on a similar approach for my own bad news letter. It’s definitely nice to add in details like that to spin a negative situation into something a bit more positive as a way to soften the blow.

For my persuasive letter, I will be writing about a sales pitch to potential new customers/clients. I chose this prompt because it will be helpful practice for future application in a real professional setting where such pitches are often a common occurrence. #RHUB290
