Chapter 6 and 7

Chapter 6 introduces us to the reader-centered research process. The seven guidelines of this chapter will assist us in conducting our research assignment for our English 402 class. By taking this approach, I will complete my research assignment more efficiently and limit my potential to waste valuable time. I've also recently been assigned a research project for my intermediate accounting class and I will certainly practice using these guidelines. Hopefully this will help me get a better grade.

Chapter 7 explains proper drafting techniques on preparing useful and persuasive communication. These techniques are: 1. Begin your segments with topic statements. 2. Present generalizations before details. 3. Organize from most important to least important. 4. Reveal your communication's organizations with headings, forecasting statements, and similar devices. 5. Consider your readers' cultural background. I will definitely use this chapter as a guide when I start drafting my research paper.
