Your assignment for this week is to read the course syllabus and write a letter, in business letter format, to a
classmate.
In this letter, you'll discuss what you noticed about the syllabus. You might consider the layout, the look of it on
the page, the content, the writing style, and the assignments as part of your reflection. Talk about what you
noticed in your letter, and then share something that surprised you, something you thought seemed interesting,
or at least do-able, and something that gave you some concern.
You will be able to do this task really well if you read the readings first! The letter should be at least one page,
including the space needed to follow proper business letter format. It's worth 25 points -- 5 for business letter
format (which you'll see on the reading samples), 10 for how deeply you analyzed the syllabus, and 10 for your
writing voice/style are clear, concise, and interesting to read.
Write your letter in Word using the business letter format; you can find this in our class texts and also a sample
of one on the back of this page. You will do TWO THINGS with it. First, use this portal to turn it into me for a
grade. Then post it as an attachment in the week 2 peer review discussion!
