Class Update 3

At this point in the course I feel comfortable with most aspects of our project. I feel that after reviewing the job application package as well as studies y other writers I am ready to conduct my research. I have a person that will be my subject and have a good idea if the type of questions I might ask him. The goals of the project are clear to me as I am trying to discover how my subject uses writing in his career. I then am supposed to uncover more about how his job relates to my career goals and how writing is incorporated into both. It is important to remember the type of audience I am writing to but I am still unclear as to how that relates to this since it seems obvious.

I want to stress again that the purpose of this project is not to "shadow" a person to see what she does in her career but rather to observe (through making site visits, conducting interviews, and and collecting texts) and analyze the writing practices of this individual, to understand how she conceptualizes, plans, and executes a writing project.
