Final Project – Samantha Danylchuk

The audience for my final project are college students who are about to enter the workforce (for example, Millennials and Gen Z). The purpose of this assignment was to explain and propose advice that these students can take for how to impress their elderly employers and ways to improve the generational gap in the workplace. Basically, I created a series of Facebook posts which are put in a PDF Format so as you take a look, pretend like you’ve just discovered this on social media and are scrolling through each post, which essentially adds up to 6 different posts (but they’re all included in a single profile). The evidence of where I received my information from are cited at the corner of the posts. I wanted a detailed social media post that would both quickly catch the attention of college students while also being informative. I took the feedback I received from my classmates and Professor Oakes to improve from my draft, so I hope you are intrigued!

Final Project-Michaela Reis

For my final project, I created a presentation discussing empathy and perspective in the workplace. The audience for my presentation is college juniors and seniors that are entering the workplace. This would be a resource for them as they prepare to graduate. This resource would be available on LinkedIn’s platform slideshare a popular website amongst those in college. The purpose of it is to show those entering the workforce how empathy and perspective can be a tool for them to create a  healthy workplace culture helping increase diversity and understanding.

Mike – Final Project – “Corporate Responsibility: Responding to Consumer Activism”

Mike Kavanagh – Final Project WRT205 Summer 2020 “Corporate Responsibility: Responding To Consumer Activism”

I had hoped to share this PowerPoint presentation as a .mov file, but it turns out it was just a few MBs too large. I’ve used the “Share” feature in Office365 to create a link to where the actual .pptx has been uploaded.  I tested it a few times, so I believe you’ll all be able to access it.

To hear my narration, you’ll have to click on the audio icon on each slide. Not as easy or fun as the .mov version, but it’s still preferable to having to read the speakers’ notes as was the case with my draft version last week.

Despite the few technical hurdles, I had fun putting this together, and hope you enjoy watching.

Thank you!

Jackie Final Project

For my final project, I decided to use a blog site as a way to access information about my topic of universal design within the disability community. I used a series of studies, first hand accounts and magazine articles to collect my sources to create a call to action for those who are entering the workforce.

Final Project, Aaron

Attached in a link is my .pdf of my final project. In this, my expected audience would be high school (and possibly undergraduate college) students. The attempt of this research paper is to discuss the problems of both bias in education and diversity issues in education (as they’re both very related). The sources I used were book chapters in books dealing with diversity and a study that shows the difference in academic performance in relation to the instructors bias towards black students. My intent with this is not necessarily to give a how-to of how to fix the problems with bias and diversity in education but to get students thinking, and to be aware that these problems do exist.

Final Project

While researching more about the discrimination faced by the LGBTQ community, it struck me how invisible this all was, especially for someone like myself who does not identify with the community directly. My audience is everyone, I think that this “invisible” discrimination is huge and needs to be spoken about more because sexuality has no color or ethnicity since anyone can identify as anything. My purpose is to educate others like myself, who were blind to how much discrimination the community faces, and to reach people of all ages I believe an infographic is the most direct way to reach such a wide variety of people.

WRT 205 Final Article

For my final project I chose. to do a New York Times article about the topic of diversity in education and what schools can do to increase their diversity numbers. I wanted to show how important diversity and inclusion was for students so I included all the benefits of it as well as graphs showing that it does in fact need to be addressed. As I mentioned in my discussion post for the draft, my target audience are students and parents. These are the groups who are most affected by whether screening is in place or not. Next would be teachers and administrators. I mentioned in the article how big of a role teachers play in students education. We have read about decision makers in the workplace and how big of a role they play for everyday lives of the workers, this is no different with the faculty of schools. The purpose of my article is to inform these groups on a topic that is very important in todays society.

Taking it public, Final Draft, Benjamin Fisch

Statement

My research project is intended to be viewed and absorbed by people with neurological disabilities, and professionals who are responsible for hiring individuals in a company. The reason why my findings are directed towards professionals responsible for hiring, is I want them to learn more about the skillets and positive abilities of people with neurological disabilities, so that these professionals will be more inclined to hire them. I would like my research to be discovered by people through a company’s human resources department, because I think this method of contraction will be most sensitive to the needs of people with neurological disorders.

Outline of Rhetorical Situation

The audience of my work is people with neurological disorders and professionals in the work place who are responsible for hiring employees. The purpose of my research is to educate companies on the misconceptions of people with neurological disorders, and how intact, they can actually benefit a business, because of their different ways of thinking. The delivery of my research should be a book format, where anyone can read and make further decisions of their own.

Project Proposal

The tone that most of the authors use in the research writings I identified and examined for my research proposal, is a direct and straight to the point tone. Some of the texts that I reviewed in my research portfolio are extremely long. Some are even hard to read in their entirety. Also, one are very short and quick to read. The ones that were quick reads and the ones that were slow reads, both succeed in communicating an argument or delivering more research to me on neurodiversity in the work place. The authors in the research I collected are mostly very formal. Some of texts I read if not most of the texts I read, include vivid detail to help explain the points that the authors are trying to make. In the research I conducted graphics do not really play a role at all. Some of the texts that I examined on neurodiversity in the workplace included subtle images embedded in the text, but I did not feel like they were needed to illustrate a point or provide detail on the subject. The images in the text kind of just blended in with every thing else. The vocabulary of the authors texts also stood out to me as something to recognize. The writers use advanced choices of vocabulary in their texts.

Final, Policy framework, Isaac Haseltine

FINAL PAPER

The policy framework I have written is intended to be used in any educational organization. Its main goal is to highlight the complexity of the discriminatory profiling that takes place in educational settings against minority groups and the racially/ethnically diverse people that belong to them.  The framework has been written for the teachers, administration, and faculty that work and or interact with students. Furthering their knowledge on the generational issue will help create a more widespread understanding of the position we are in, and the position our society forces people into.

The focus of the framework is based on how our current education system is not adequately addressing the issue of disadvantages based on the racial or ethnic background of the students. The goal was to shine a light on these disadvantages, and to help inform the educational professionals how important their multicultural awareness is for their students. The framework would be a part of a booklet that all staff in the organization must read and discuss, it is not meant to be read by the select few who choose to do so.  The booklet would contain general information on the organization and its mission statements, as well as information on the subcategories within the organization that need extra attention. The function behind the framework is to act as the catalyst for discourse in hopes that it will open people up to a serious problem many people ignore.
