In this website it explains what a communications major is. It goes into depth about what types of jobs are available. It also discusses how the field works.

This website is primarily about the skills communications majors need. I wouldn't say that it actually describes the types of writing. It more so explains how we as comm studies majors need to approach certain topics.

This link describes what one can do with a major in technical writing and communications. I think this is important because it shows the logistical side of the major. I don't know how much writing is needed for this major but in this article it describes it more in detail.

MLA vs. APA

While reading over the materials for APA versus MLA formatting, I noticed a few similarities as well as differences. Each format is beneficial in its own way, and it was helpful to be able to read over both to know what to use.

First, the differences I found were:

• -       An APA format is more structured and has a title page.
• -       An APA format has body paragraphs.
• -       MLA format has citations in the body paragraphs and include the page number in parenthesis
• -       Indentations are different depending on the type
• the body paragraphs for APA is more than MLA 

And secondly, the similarities are:

• -       They are both double spaced
• -       12 point font
• -       Both citation pages list the items alphabetically
• -       They both have citation pages
• -       In text citations exist in both

Major Writing #1 -- What Is It Asking?

In the analytical report document, it's asking us to interview someone and analyze them in order to make an interpretation about the nature of writing. We have to come up with a few questions to ask besides the list provided in sake of it being personalized and meaningful. The overall goal of this is to increase awareness of writing and what it takes. I think this is going to be helpful and significantly relatable once I write it. In a previous English class, we had to do something similar and try to persuade someone we were interviewing to believe or support something we did. This opened up my eyes to other opinions. I think this assignment in Rhetoric will give somewhat the same effect, giving me other ideas and opinions as well. 

A list of questions I have for this assignment isn't much. It seems overall pretty clear. If anything, I think my questions are as follows: 

- What are the types of sources we would use? 

- How long should this interview last? 

- To clarify, is this interview primarily about what they write and why?
