I enjoyed learning about the OABC (Opening, Agenda, Body, and Closing) method because I learned how to make each section of a memorandum or paper more effective. This is brought about through a catchy opening, a concise agenda, an informative body, and a simple closing. Each of these sections play an important role; this chapter explains what those roles are and how one can write so that each section functions properly.
Often times, I will write a paper and feel that I did reasonably well, but will still be unsure if my writing was proper. Learning about CLOUD (Coherence, Length, Organization, Unity, Development) gives me confidence that for my next paper, I have a way to evaluate my paper. This way, I can see what changes need to be made to make my paper more professional, organized, and content-rich.
Lastly, as a teacher's assistant, I grade a plethora of papers. The methods introduced in chapter 3 will help me see how well papers are written. I can better evaluate the flow of content, organization, and clarity. Not only that, but I will be able to articulate to my students what they can improve on.
