...Collaborative Versus Individual Writing Processes University of Phoenix Collaborative Versus Individual Writing Processes “Collaborative writing is a slippery concept. It is clear that collaborative writing refers to writing in groups but there are as many ways to write in groups as there are possible combinations of individuals.” (What is collaborative writing?, 1991, ¶ 1) To write a team paper effectively many components are essential to think about before starting. For example, how does a team brainstorm, revise, edit, proofread, and deal with conflict together? How does a team combine each member’s different creative thoughts and ideas into one? Doing research about how teams write together before starting the project will help with the process once the team is ready to begin. Even though everyone has creative differences, collaborative writing is more effective than individual writing because each person brings a variety of thoughts to the table and five heads are better than one. “In an article on the technology and processes of collaborative writing, David Farkas offers four possible definitions useful in approaching collaboration through an analysis of processes. For his purposes, collaboration is: 1. two or more people jointly composing the complete text of a document; 2. two or more people contributing components to a document; 3. one or more person modifying, by editing and/or reviewing, the document of one or more persons; and ...

COURSE DESCRIPTION This course examines the treatment of legal themes in literature, music, film and other visual arts as part of a broader consideration of the relationship between the humanities and the law.

...Vagueness, Ambiguity, and Clarity in Writing Holly Minor CRT/205 June 15, 2013 Vagueness, Ambiguity, and Clarity in Writing Vague and ambiguous writing results in misinterpretation of the information within the writing. When writing is unclear, a reader may find difficulty in understanding the intent of the writing. On the other hand, a certain level of vagueness is adequate. “When a claim is not too vague to convey appropriately useful information, its level of vagueness is acceptable.” (Moore & Parker, 2012, p. 73). To illustrate the effect vagueness and ambiguousness has on a written work; two writing examples are deconstructed and analyzed. Example 1 [1]This particular case study will reflect an organization with a van that has undergoing internal conflict. [2]It will also analyze the reason for the conflict and offer positive resolutions of this conflict. [3]The project must first understand that conflict among the membership, its leaders, group or anyone attached did not just show up one day. [4]Conflict has been in existence for a very long time. [5]The religious leaders have a great responsibility to the congregation (and others who look for guidance and direction according to the scriptures). [6]It does not matter what title he or she holds, if they are in a leadership role, they bare responsible and accountable. The writing style in this first example contains both vague and ambiguous writing. The first sentence has both vague and ambiguous...

For a review of memo format, refer to the style sheet posted to your Assignments folder. Writing Situation You are the Research Business Manager for Dalhousie University. One of the university’s scientists, Dr. Melinda Chen, has, as the Principal Investigator, signed the research contract (the “Research Contract Template” .pdf document found under “Preparation for Assignment #1” in the Assignment folder). The contract is between Dalhousie University and Company ABC. Dr. Chen is an untenured Assistant Professor in a STEM discipline and is in the early stages of her academic career. She has received funding for this research project but has limited experience of legal agreements such as the one she has signed and she finds its language ambiguous and problematic. In other words, such is a specialist when it comes to her discipline but a layperson in terms of her understanding of legal language. Violating terms of the agreement could have serious consequences for Dr. Chen, however. Dr. Chen has produced some interesting results from this funded research and would like to present the results at an upcoming academic conference. The conference takes place in four months. She has asked you to explain what she must do...
