Basic Rules for Writing Better Memos, Emails, or any other Documents

Basic Rules for Writing Better Memos, Emails, or any other DocumentsAs you approach the task of preparing written or oral communications of any kind there is a basic pattern that can be used to guide you toward quality outcomes.

Two words: AUDIENCE and PURPOSE
AUDIENCE — Who will you be corresponding with? Is it one person or a group? Do they know you? Do they have a technical background or are they more task oriented?
PURPOSE — Why are you preparing this communication? To provide information? To request information?

Once you have established an AUDIENCE and PURPOSE it is time to begin developing the document or presentation.
Three words: INTRODUCTION, BODY, and CONCLUSION
In the INTRODUCTION you will provide an overview of what is to follow. Remember the AUDIENCE and PURPOSE and provide appropriate information.
The BODY contains the FACTS, DETAILS, or SPECIFIC INFORMATION that needs to be provided to the AUDIENCE. Organization is important in the BODY to lead the AUDIENCE through the information.
The CONCLUSION is where you bring things together and let the AUDIENCE know that you have completed the communication.

You can search on the web for additional resources to help improve your writing of memos, letters, proposals, etc.BASIC FORMAT FOR A MEMORANDUM: M E M O R A N D U M

Journal reflection in topic ideas

 Here are some things to consider:

  1. Identify a topic in your specialization. (For IT students, Information Technology is not a topic, however, Millennial’s perceptions of smart phone technology could be a topic.  For leadership students, leadership or leadership styles would be too broad.  You could, however, compare leader and followers perceptions of leadership styles in private four year institutions. These are examples).  
  2. What is the cited problem? The problem you want to address has to come from the literature, and be cited, who are saying there are problems.
  3. What is the population you would like to address?
  4. What methodology are you planning on using? (If you are unsure, do you plan on a quantitative or qualitative study?  You will determine your methodology in 839).
  5. Locate at least one article related to your topic. What was the research question in the study? Who were the participants in the study? What findings were reported?

Discussion: Smart Card versus Authenticator App

 The Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card is used in non-military government agencies for authentication and identification to gain access to systems, networks, and online resources. These cards, in combination with a personal identification number, meet two-factor requirements. PIV credentials also are designed to help reduce counterfeiting and are tamper-resistant.An authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator, is another method to achieve two-factor authentication. It is a free app available for installation on mobile devices.The U.S. federal government authorizes the use of PIVs as well as authenticator apps, depending on the circumstances.Answer the following question(s):

  1. In what type of situation would an authenticator app provide adequate two-factor authentication for federal government use? Provide rationale or a citation for your answer.
  2. In what type of situation would a PIV be required for federal government use? Provide rationale or a citation for your answer.

Fully address the questions in this discussion; provide valid rationale or a citation for your choices; Post should be at least 700 words in length.
