October 24, HW#1, Reading reflection
These are a few things I took away from this week's reading:
Problem Statement
I like what it said about writing a "clear, succinct, but complete problem statement" before you go trying to work a problem. I think it's crucial to spend the time thinking about the real root of the problem before you go writing about it.
Visual Invention Exercise
It was interesting to learn about how you can dissect a problem into all of its little causes and effects. It's a good exercise because it just puts you through the paces of really exploring all the little facets of the problem you're working with.
Identifying the Multiple Purposes
Another great exercise which helps you map out exactly what it is you're trying to communicate. This exercise has you list out all the possible purposes your document might server. Kind of like listing out the different contexts it will be used in, but not. :-)

I like what you pulled from the reading about the problem statement. Also in the first chapter it states about the problem statement "If written poorly, they can confuse the readers and serve mostly as an emabarrassment to the organization".
This is an important first step.
