Examine the sample Research Proposal Memo (WA#3). Has the writer identified a problem and suggested possible solutions? What has the writer asked permission to do? What kind of primary research has the writer proposed to do?

Question 1. First, please access and read through the following articles about communication inhibitors.

Dr. K. Usha Rani, “Communication Barriers” (Attached)
Lumen Learning, “Communication Barriers” (Link below) https://courses.lumenlearning.com/atdcoursereview-speechcomm-1/chapter/reading-communication-barriers/

Then, respond to this discussion topic by completing the following tasks:

Please think of an example of a problem with communication in your workplace or your community. Then answer the following five questions with regard to that problem

-What is the specific problem with communication?
-Does the problem represent an example of one of the barriers that the articles that Dr. Rani and Lumen Learning identify? If so, which one(s)?
-What are some possible communication strategies in notifying someone about the problem?
-What is the best course of action for you to take in solving the problem?
-What is the best way for you to communicate this problem to the relevant individuals?

Question 2 Please use these sample papers to help you answer the following questions:

1. Peruse the sample Synthesis Lit Review (WA#2). This assignment calls for the student writer to use scholarly (academic) and professional (trade) sources. Does the student do this successfully? Name one example of each type of source used in this sample student-written assignment.

2. Examine the sample Research Proposal Memo (WA#3). Has the writer identified a problem and suggested possible solutions? What has the writer asked permission to do? What kind of primary research has the writer proposed to do?

3. Take a look at the sample Research Report (WA#4). Has the writer followed through on conducting and using the primary research proposed in the memo in the report? How has the writer presented the research?

4. One final task. Look at the secondary research sources used in the Synthesis Lit Review and the Research Report. Writing on the same topic for WA#2 and WA#4 made the writing of the research report an easier task than it would have been if different topics had been chosen. Comment on how the writing on the same topic for both these assignments helped the writer.
