1. What style is appropriate for addressing Professor Santoy as opposed to a style for students? Professor Santoy is like our boss therefore addressing her in a professional manner would be the proper style. When it comes to addressing the students, I’d have to say that you still speak to them in a professional manner however you can be more comfortable being yourself. After all, you are the one with the information therefore these students are looking forward to listening to what you have to say.
2. What are the style or form differences of a blog versus a micro-blog like Twitter?
A blog is a web service that anyone is able to setup and write whatever is on their mind without having to cut it short. On the other hand, a micro-blog like twitter is somewhat like text messaging. It allows you to only type in a certain amount of characters and then you have to cut it short. Maybe I’m wrong, but to me micro blogging is also similar to yahoo messenger (chatting).
3. What do you think of a genre such as memos? Are they easy or hard to write?
Writing memos are not that difficult, but then again I may have been taught a different way when I took Comp. 1. Well from what I was taught, I feel that there’s not much to writing a memo because all you are doing is getting to the point and not chit chatting. When writing memos, there can be many ways of writing them, of course that is depending on who you are writing it to.

I agree. Micro blogging is like text messaging. It's like making a hot pocket and then not eating it. As far as addressing Professor Santoy, everyone should know how to address a person in the right manner.
ReplyDeleteI agree twitter is like text messaging its short and quick and lets everyone know what you are doing. I have never written a memo so I believe that for me it might be difficult but hopefully if I learn all the rules it'll be easy.
