Three types of writers:
The Reporter – Reports nothing but the event (Solely on what happened)
The Messenger – Transferring the information gathered during the event (Include citations to support
the event)
The Writer – Well-trained in writing (Report what happened, include citations to support the event, add
critical thinking/analysis/evaluation of the experience)
Examples
The Reporter reports the problem:
There are some APU students who do not wear formal/office wear attire when attending classes.
The Messenger explains the problem:
There are some APU students who do not wear formal/office wear attire when attending classes, even
though according to the student handbook found in the Webspace (2020), students must comply to the
Professional Dress Code Policy.
The Writer criticizes the problem:
Pro: It is understandable why some APU students do not wear formal/office wear attire when attending
classes, even though according to the student handbook found in the Webspace (2020), students must
comply to the Professional Dress Code Policy. [Include the supporting sentences]
Con: It is disturbing to see how some APU students just could not comply to the Professional Dress Code
Policy, when it is clearly stated in the student handbook (2020) that the “attire must be compatible with
the public image of APU”, which ultimately points to dressing in formal workplace attire. [Include the
supporting sentences]
Added example: “attire must be compatible with the public image of APU (Student Handbook, 2020).”
The APU student handbook (2020) stated that the students must adhere to the Professional Dress Code
Policy that is compatible with APU’s public image.
Pro: This is frustrating as it limits the students from expressing their individuality through their dressing.
[Include the problem]
Con: This is good as it projects the students as professionals in the making to the eyes of the employers.
