Brainstorming
Back to work
As a Master's student taking Foundations of Technical Communication, taught by Professor George Standifer, I was tasked with one large final project. The project was to create a 30-40 page technical report or manual on any scientific, technical, or business topic of sufficient depth. At first, this project felt scary and overwhelming. With other highly-qualified individuals in the class seemingly knowing more and having a better grasp on how to make such an in-depth project. When I get overwhelmed by large projects, I start to look around and ask questions, to gain a better grasp of where I am, as well as directions I could go. Professor Standifer said it clearly to me as I was struggling to find a direction, "go to where you're passionate," with eager eyes. I looked around at my classmates to see a lot of them going in directions related to their hobbies, some of which I have never heard of, such as enamel pins. This inspired me to create a project for more than the grade or even a portfolio builder. A project that I can be passionate about, becoming an ambassador and advocate for the hobby.
