a.) The writing assignment I am considering choosing for essay #4 is my communications paper that is due this Sunday. The paper is about nonverbal communication and nonverbal cues. We have to observe two different groups of people and write how they are communicating nonverbally and what cues they are using.

b.) Writing is similar in my communication compared to our class because we could either use MLA or APA writing style. That’s really the only similarity because the teacher isn’t really concerned with grammar and sentence structure. We are more focused on the information in the paper and if it is correct. So the writing is different in that sense compared to our class.

c.) The skills that are most transferable from class to class are just knowing how to use the different writing styles. Not all teachers are going to want a MLA format, even though that’s what my high school english teachers drilled in our heads. Knowing how to set up your papers using these writing styles is really helpful. In my history class last semester my teacher wanted our paper to be written in Chicago style, I had no idea what that was. I had to look it up and figure it out, once I figured it out I was good. Now I know how to use Chicago style and it will help me in my future classes.
