Memo Assignment
To: Meaghan Waldron
From: Molly Moran

Subject: Proper Procedure for Absences: Excused and Unexcused
As we enter the latter half of the semester, I wanted to provide you with the proper procedure to filing an excused or unexcused absence here at Clemson University. I have noticed your increasing amount of absences and wanted to clarify any misunderstood points, as well as, make the consequences of these absences lucid to you.
First, I will cover the Clemson University Attendance Policy. Second, I will go over the proper procedure to follow for excused absences. Additionally, I will cover what needs to be completed in the occurrence of unexcused absences. Finally, we shall discuss the implemented solution to your numerous of absences.
Clemson University Attendance Policy:
• As a student you are required to attend and engage in class activities.
• Regular attendance affects the overall performance in this course.
• A student with 4 or more unexcused absences may be administratively dropped from the course.
• A student must follow the readings assigned to engage in class discussions and team assignments.
Proper Procedure for Filing Excused Absences:
• If you are aware of the absence before the class (i.e. non-health related) notify the teacher 5 days prior to the absence with written documentation.
• Make-up work is due before or on the date assigned, there will be no excused late assignments.
Proper Procedure for Unexcused Absences
• Make sure to have all work completed before the assigned due date.
• It is your responsibility to retrieve any missed material.
You, Meghan Waldron, have had 5 unexcused absences. Nonetheless, you have kept up with your work throughout the semester. My solution to your lack of communication for these absences is a paper on the Importance Of Being Present, due March 10th, 2010. Remember, it is in your best interest to complete this promptly, for failure to do so will ultimately you fail in the course. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. Please notify me when you have a clear understanding of the information and action requested.

Persuasive Messages Chapter 9
1.
Clarify your purpose. You should ask your self:
A.. What are the demographics of the audience? Include characteristics such as age, gender, occupation, income and education.
B. What are the psychographics of the audience? Such as personality, attitudes, and lifestyle.
C. Look at their motivations, the combination of forces that drive people to satisfy their needs
Look for their attention, Interests, desires and action you want them to take.
2. Demographics help you you identify your audience, and gear your message to their needs and desires specifically. Psychographics take into account their cultural experiences and practices so that you do not use an inappropriate appeal, or organize your message in an unfamiliar way that makes the audience feel uncomfortable.
3. Emotional appeals attempt to connect with the reader's feelings, while logical appeals are based on the reader's notions of reason. These can use analogy, induction or deduction.
4. Logical Appeals
Analogy- you reason with a specific evidence to specific evidence.
Induction- you work with specific evidence to a general conclusion
deduction- you work from a generalization to a specific conclusion.
5, AIDA Model
organizes your presentation into four phases:
Attention- your first objective is to encourage your audience to want to hear about your problem, idea or new product. The Main Idea. Find a common ground to build your case
Interest- provide additional details that prompt audience members to imagine how the solution might benefit them
Desire- help the audience members embrace your idea by explaining how the change will benefit them and answering potential objections
and Action- suggest specific action you want your audience to take. Include a deadline, when applicable.
