Choose 1 professor or a professional who either teaches or works in the field you are interested in. Informally talk with this individual (email works) and ask this person about the kinds of writing they do, as well the kinds of writing they are aware of. Ask them to focus on entry-level writing expectations.

Ask the individual who the imagined audience is for their writing. If they say they do not write, ask if they ever need to write memos, emails, notes, to other co-workers or administrators. Sometimes, the word writing is relegated to a novel.

We are interested in forms of communication that rely solely on the written word. Ask if they ever find it necessary to explain their points with full sentences, narratives, statistics, etc. When do they consciously choose the method of organizing their message (memos, reports, essays). Listen for examples of ethos, pathos, logos, purpose, audience, and of course, author.

This response has 2 parts. You will have the respondent's answers (paraphrased, do not list every word they said), and your own thoughts on those answers. You are encouraged to combine or weave your thoughts into your respondents answers.
