For this assignment, I completed a comprehensive brief and a thumbnail brief using the IRAC method for Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803).

For this assignment, I wrote a fictional intake memo based on the following scenario: “Your third client of the day states, ‘I want to file for divorce.”

This assignment had me draft a complaint for Brown from the fictional account in our textbook, “The Legal Odyssey of Michael Brown: An Anatomy of the Litigation Process .”

This assignment had me write an interoffice memo based on the following scenario.

“During the course of performing a root canal on Dawn, Dr. Toth, an oral surgeon, gets an implement stuck in Dawn’s tooth and it breaks. Dr. Toth cannot extract the broken piece of the implement from Dawn’s tooth, so he leaves it there. He completes the root canal and does not disclose to Dawn that he has left part of a dental implement imbedded in her tooth. Dawn’s other dental work, including the placement of a crown on the tooth with the implement in it, is then completed. Two years later, Dawn begins to have significant problems with the tooth on which Dr. Toth performed the root canal. Dawn has a serious infection that requires the removal of not only the tooth that Dr. Toth performed the surgery on, but also the teeth on either side of it. She misses a significant amount of work to have the dental work performed and suffers a considerable amount of pain.”

This assignment had me write an interoffice memo based on the following scenario.

“Jason’s neighbor has a large sycamore tree located near the fence between the two properties. The tree drops leaves and sycamore balls in Jason’s yard each fall. Jason has repeatedly asked his neighbor to trim the overhanging branches so his yard will not receive the litter from the tree, but the neighbor refuses to cut back the tree. While the neighbor is on vacation, Jason drills holes in the trunk of the tree just below ground level and also drills through any roots with which he comes into contact.”

For this assignment, I was asked to write a memo analyzing each type of business entity and select the one that is most appropriate for the scenario below.

“Dr. Smith, Dr. Stone, and Dr. Fitch are all pediatricians. They want to set up a practice together. Personal income tax rates are lower than corporate income tax rates. They are also concerned about liability for medical malpractice claims and want protection. They live in the state of Nita, which allows sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, professional corporations (P.C.s), and limited liability partnerships.

The doctors come to your law firm and ask for guidance in determining which type of business entity is best suited for their needs. Your supervising attorney assigns you the task of drafting a memo analyzing each type of business organization that is available to the doctors in the state of Nita and asks you to recommend one for the doctors.”

This assignment asked us to create a FAQ page for an existing business’s website. I created this page for The Hub, Center for Health and Beauty, my workplace at the time, to answer common patient questions about services, payment, and more.

This assignment asked us to create a 3-5-minute procedural video with captions. I chose to show how to add a new contact to the Nextiva One application. This application was used in my workplace at the time and was still new to most of the staff.

This assignment asked us to conduct a usability study on a website. Unlike a typical study that involves multiple participants and rounds of testing, this assignment was intended to give us a better understanding of the process of conducting usability studies and, as such, required only one participant and one round of testing.

For this project, we worked in teams to create style guides for actual clients. My team created a style guide for a small restaurant in Wisconsin. Here is the completed project, along with a slide presentation that shows the clients how the guide was created, how to use it, and contact information for further questions.

This class project asked us to write a brand guide for the fictional balloon company ACME. In addition to contributing to my team’s chapters, I worked with another classmate as a technical editor to check the final document for consistency with the style guide we used to write it.

The first document I tackled was the Emergency Plan. If the company had one before the move, it was lost along the way, so I started by researching OSHA, FEMA, and both local and national government websites to make sure everything was covered. Some elements of this plan still require input from management, such as the evacuation meeting point and the requirements for securing the location in the event of hurricanes. Those will be added once final decisions have been made. I’ve also removed or blocked out some information, such as management’s name/contact numbers.

Next, the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Binder was developed. The company had a Hazard Communication document but did not have the rest of the SDS Binder together. In this case, I took inventory of the chemicals used in the business, reviewed OSHA guidelines for SDS binders, located the required safety data sheets, and finally revised the Hazard Communication Standard. The SDSs are not shared here, as they’re documents from each product company and there are numerous, but the place where they can be found is clear in the binder document.

A Bloodborne Pathogen Plan is needed because this business is an acupuncture clinic. The company had one, but it had not been updated since the move. After reviewing it and researching the requirements, I updated the document. Due to the staff shortage, some of the training material for this plan that should be included has been lost and hasn’t been rewritten yet.

Finally, we have the new floor plan for evacuation. This diagram has been modified for each office room, with a “you are here” and arrows outlining possible escape routes in case of an evacuation. The building the company moved into didn’t have any floor plans for the remodeled space, so I created one by taking approximate measurements of each room and using Microsoft Visio to design the floor plan. The diagram here is the base one for reference.

In this assignment, we were asked to create a one-page infographic that represents a part of their annual report. I chose to look at Meta Materials Inc. (META), which develops metamaterials to create new high-performance materials. This infographic was created using Visme and some of the new technologies Metamaterials had worked on in 2021.

The Health Hub is the medical side of the Hub Center for Health and Beauty, where I currently work part-time as an assistant and LMT. We needed a new service menu that’s easy to read and update with specials. Here’s the menu I designed for May 2022.
