Dear Dr. Pat Simons,

Please take your time to consider my application as the new student research assistant for the Psychology Department of the University of Oklahoma. As an inspiring student interested in learning in-depth knowledge and the approaches in Psychology, I bring the confidence and the desire to write lengthy details of the research topic assignment given and conduct well-rounded research using the gained insight from my previous composition classes.

In receiving my required formal education and experiences at OCCC, I studied English Composition I and II, including different forms of composition writing along with the access to research library databases and tools. For the course, I selected a research problem and developed an annotated bibliography that I updated as I continued to write other compositions. To accomplish the research I worked with multiple databases and learned to read for claims and evidence. In this course, I presented my research and argument in three different composition forms: Classical Argument, Rogerian Argument, and Toulmin Argument. The three argument compositions provided me with opportunities to present my argument to different audiences, which required me to think critically about my work. With the Rogerian Argument, I learned to argue for a common goal and develop solutions for two opposing sides of the argument. This composition also allowed me to look at both sides of the research question I selected for my Research Proposal. In the end, I changed my position on the question based on the research for the Rogerian Argument.

I am confident I can provide support for the Psychology Department at the University of Oklahoma. I have both the necessary levels of knowledge for an English Composition and Psychology student. I aim to bring the desired level of research and critical thinking to the position you have available in the Psychology Department. If I uphold the qualifications that meet your needs, please contact me at 405-123-4567 or by e-mail at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing your response.

Sincerely,

Susie Student
