Problem
Imagine you are this student applying for this money. Write a detailed email requesting consideration for the bursary and reflecting on your progress as a communication student this semester.
Your professor has encouraged you to apply for a bursary (financial support) and one of the elements is a written component addressed to the committee of professors responsible for handing out the money. The written component asks you to reflect on your communication skills. You know that these skills include speaking, listening, reading, writing, problem-solving, and research. The panel wants you to evaluate your progress in the class, consider what you have learned, and reflect on your strengths and weaknesses. Of course, you know that they don't expect you to have suddenly become a professional communicator, but they would like to hear about your progress as a life-long learner.
