The feedback from my peers wasn’t nice, either.Īs many of you would hope, I am no longer a student of psychology. However, I haven’t been able to perform this heinous conduct within the uptight field of psychology without losing a couple of letter grades on the report.

I think humour can be a fresh breath of smog-free air within any professional work. While many professors disagree, I believe that a well-placed joke within a 15-page research report can be exactly what I need in order to wake up my audience. As I am a sarcastic, self-deprecating young adult that already has plenty of trouble with communicating in general with parents and teachers, this skill is crucial.

Within my Digital Media course, I am learning how to control my irony without the use of emojis or a picture of somebody’s college roommate plastered with a wide Impact font that spells out their flaws.įor me, learning how to use rhetoric in my written work is about using my voice without changing the meaning of my work. What voice did you read that with? Did you read it in Jim Halpert’s voice? When you got to the last couple of words, did you imagine Jim Halpert (or your closest reference for a Jim Halpert) making an “air quote” gesture with his fingers? Thunder Bay’s public transit is always “on time”. sourceĭid you notice where I used quotations in the first paragraph? I want you to read this sentence in your head:
PSA: If Jim Halpert from The Office stares blankly at the camera in the corner for a second while talking to you, you probably didn’t get it. If you have to explain why your ironic post about public transit being “on time” is supposed to be funny, the satire is already lost. Communicating written sarcasm to an audience larger than your cohorts is an impressive feat.
