Miami article

The article takes an interesting viewpoint on the topic of students and instant messaging. i agree with the article in that students are writing a great deal more which cannot be a bad thing, however the styles of formal writing and text messaging are completely different and might affect the level at which students write at. if students were to text message at the same level as they write formal papers then text messaging is certainly a good thing.

audience / purpose

I read an article written by a duke university student, about the engineers without borders program. The purpose of the article is similar to that of every wiki, to act as an encyclopedia article about the stated topic, although this article was written solely t o talk about the duke chapter of engineers without borders. It is written for duke university students primarily engineers. However, it does talk about the philanthropic side of the program in order to attract students interested in community service.
