In this program, I will apply different leadership techniques such as visionary, coaching and affiliative. Visionary leadership is paramount in my case because I need to adopt a new educational direction (Benincasa, 2012). In ...

In his article “Codes of Ethics and the Moral Education of Engineering”, Luegenbiehl claims that the current codes of ethics available to Engineers are vague and in desperate need of alteration. In other words, the aim of his paper is to demonstrate how the codes have little value and are often ignored making them unusable and thus should be thrown out altogether, “the avoidance of the codesis justified because the codes of engineering ethics, in their present form, should not be utilized as a set of ethical rules of behavior” (Luegenbiehl 137).

Final Reflection

First, I had a compilation challenge in the creation of the final content from the drafts. After gathering and compiling my thoughts into writing, I lacked the determination to check if I had the right content and tone to help in information delivery. I revised both drafts to make sure that the writings were appropriate to my target audience. Also, I had a challenge trimming the words and content to the acceptable amount. To help in solving this problem, I acknowledged my primary goal as to inform rather than intimidate the audience. Therefore, I avoided the use of or ...

The writer might also compose a rough outline, highlighting certain key points that the writer would like to touch upon in the paper. After creating a roadmap for the paper, the initial draft of the paper comes together. At this ...

In Donald Murray’s essay “The Maker’s Eye: Revising Your Own Manuscripts,” he raises very important points about the nature of writing. To begin, he states that the real writing begins after the first draft is completed. That is the raw material, which can then be shaped into the real content. He states that “this difference in attitude is…the difference between amateur and professional.” (Murray 1) This attitude makes a lot of sense; after all, a writer must contain sufficient passion for his work that he should not just want to “get it over with,” and as such must ...

Revising for an exam is no undemanding task, especially if you do not have the pertinent materials required. It can be quite hectic especially if you do not like the topic or subject you are revising on. Poetry is one such subject that many students find difficult understanding.

A wise student therefore has to come up with smart study methods to ensure that they understand the content of a ...

In revising this piece, one of the main aspects that needs to be addressed is the choice of language used. In a piece of academic writing, it is essential to use formal language. In this piece the student has, at times, used colloquial language. An example of this is the line, “The cinematography followed the look established in Batman Begins by using subdued colours, lots of darkness and a more restrained visual style than the one seen in the late 80s and 90s”. Instead of the words ‘lots of,’ the student should have used something more formal, for example ‘many’. This ...
