Report on the Communication in My Field of Study – Item 1 of the Portfolio
Instructions
Item 1 of the Portfolio: Report on the the Resources in My Field of Study
For this assignment you will complete a form, providing information about 3-4 things:
The program (discipline) you are studying
The program guide you are using and things in it
Analysis of one organization or website from your discipline
Tips for communicating with folks in your discipline (optional)
The complete form shouldn’t be longer than three pages. Less than two full pages will be considered under-developed. Read the information below for a broad understanding of the purpose of this assignment. Refer to the attached template for more specific details on what to do.
Goal: This is a no-stress scavenger hunt to help you collect resources about your field of study. Ideally, these resources will help save you time and effort for the remainder of the semester (and beyond) since you can focus all your research on these resources. The name of the game is to dig around and search for resources related to your field of study, such as organizations and associations within that field, podcasts, YouTube channels, books, scholarly databases, etc.
Example: If I’m majoring in Underwater Basket Weaving, I may find in my digging that there’s an Association of Underwater Basket Weavers which offers articles, podcasts, blogs, career posts, conferences, and more. I may also find a YouTube channel that posts weekly tips and tricks related to the field. I could find a ton of books I may want to read later on, such as Underwater Weavers Weave Best by Jane Weaverton and My Life as a Basket Weaver by John Undersea. I might also discover there’s a database in the library that specializes on this field of study. As someone majoring in this field, I may have no idea where to find resources or what’s out there, and so this assignment is intended to help me explore. It’s a scavenger hunt, and it’s meant to be stress free, so have fun with it, and don’t think too hard about it.
What is a discourse community?
You learned earlier that writing does not exist in a vacuum, that it is a conversation between writer and reader. One scholar, Erik Borg, says that “We do not generally use language to communicate with the world at large, but with individuals or groups of individuals…these groups are gathered into communities.”
Each of us belongs to a number of these groups (called discourse communities). If you stop at a coffee shop routinely, you are a member of that community. Members know what the “rules” are for communicating with each other, what kind of greeting is used, what the standard length of comments is, what kind of comments are acceptable, and what kind are not. Other discourse communities might be related to activities with children, fitness, or church. You can probably think of examples of a conversation topic or a greeting that would be acceptable at the gym but not at church.
The Form:
After you’ve finished the scavenger hunt and found some useful resources for your field of study, complete the attached report. A template of this report is provided, so just fill in the sections. Replace the sample answers with your own words. Save it with a title like this: Smith Robert Report on Resources. Then submit the completed form as an attachment in the assignment link.

Thank you for the help, I took my time and ordered a 14 days long essay. It came much earlier, around 7 days after I ordered it. Oh, and it was good, of course. I like the writer who did that, will definitely use again.

What I received was great. I forgot to mention in the instructions field that I needed reference page and by default, there was 0 in the number of references. I was surprised to see a full-fledged reference page in my paper with relevant citations. Bravo!

When I first discovered this website I was hesitant on whether they will deliver a plag free paper. The support team reassured me of their plagiarism policy. In deed they kept their word as the paper I got was authentic and plagiarism free.
