Week 9 Assignment
Com/155

2.

My final assignment in Com/155 is to analyze two paragraphs, written by two unknown writers; I chose paragraphs three and four. In each individual paragraph, the writers’ attention is on informing the reader about the various processes associated with credit. In paragraph three, the writer began his or her text, by giving examples as to why a person is not eligible for credit. It further explains in the text that upon denial, you would receive a letter from the Fair Credit Reporting Act, documenting the terms of its refusal. Paragraph four opened up by acknowledging that most consumers understand the security and stability of a good credit score; the text further explained the process involved in calculating a credit rating. The writer of paragraph three, style of writing appeared choppy and fragmented; the writer was very repetitious in his or her use of words. Paragraph four lacked the necessary purpose to support the content with in the text. Both paragraphs were affective in there individual ideas, of informing the reader about the do and do not, in regards to obtaining and maintaining credit; still there were some unanswered questions. Paragraph three is the more informative of the two, having purpose, giving examples of why one is denied credit, and content, informing you on the letter you will receive to establish credit.

Apron completion of my final draft, of my final assignment, I submitted the results to Write Point. The processes of having my assignment checked, was not long, only a matter of minutes. Write Point checked my assignment for plagiarism and gave me suggestions on correcting errors in my assignment. When it did its plagiarism check, it checked the web and various databases to see if my assignment was authentic. The results were my assignment was genuine. Some of the suggestions it gave me for correcting my assignment, was to write out numbers under ten, remove commas (unless introducing a nonrestrictive phrase) and correct commonly misused words. It also gave me a doctorial rule not to use “getting”, which it stated could mean anything. It suggested for me to use words like receive, obtain, arrive at; can, could, grow and able to. It also ask me not to start a sentence with a conjunction, it said it is not academic acceptable. I followed through with the majority of the suggestions I received from Write Point, although there was one I questioned, the doctorial rule. That suggestion alone had me to rewrite half of my assignment, in order to make the suggestion fit. Write point, is a very affective tool that I will be using in the future.
