Assignment: Analyzing an Audience

Communicating information that satisfies the needs of an audience (also known as readers or users) is one of the basic tenets of professional communication. To learn what these needs are, you must analyze your audience as one of your first steps in planning a document.

Think about your readers' knowledge of the topic about which you are going to write. Think about their education as well as their viewpoint on the topic. What is your readers' basic position, and what will they want to gain from your document?

Assume you had to write an explanation of the refrigeration cycle to an audience made up of your classmates.

Prepare a one-page paper that describes the audience. Do not merely list answers to the audience analysis questions. Your report is based on the profile you developed of your audience.

Your discussion should include your audience's needs, attitudes, expectations, and use of the document.

Use Times New Roman 12 to type your assignment. Assignment length: minimum double-spaced one page, double-spaced between paragraphs.
