Blog Post 5: Formal Research Proposal Reports and Technical Communication

In technical communication, you will have to give verbal proposal. To support your verbal proposal, you are recommended to do research and write formal reports. In general, you will give a proposal to encourage a project or to support a specific plan.

In our technical class, I with three of my classmates did a verbal proposal based on a research. The proposal is to support building a social room at University of Louisiana at Lafayette in order to help students with stress relief. In our project, we applied the most important elements of all technical writing; finding the balance of assertiveness & politeness, and finding the balance of specificity and economy of language.

In the project, the balancing elements were found in many different ways. First, we tried to target our audience in order to make the proposal accepted and appreciated. In addition, we focused on the economy of language so that we can deliver our idea in an effective and easy way. However, we all have to be more assertive with each other in order to stay on task. We did not face so many troubles and did not deal with rude people. Moreover, I found myself I have to deal with one idea and tried to explain it many times with different words. 

In general, the project was a good practice on how to give a verbal proposal that is based on research, and apply the elements of good technical writing.
