What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Human resource development's role in organizational competitive advantage

The introduction to human resources development (HRD) and learning significantly expanded my understanding of the role of HR in creating a competitive advantage in a company. Honestly, my view of HR was that this was the department that was responsible for hiring and screening complaints from employees as well as other random tasks. However, learning about the role of HRD and how the HR staff can really help to set the culture and capabilities of the organization. My view of HR has transformed from some department that is necessary, but kind of acts on the sidelines of operations; to one that plays an integral role in the organization. In modern organizations that operate primarily in the realm of knowledge management to differentiate them in the marketplace, HR and HRD can either make or break an organization. Basically, in summary, through my studies in this area, I have gained a new appreciation for the role of HR and HRD in regards to creating a modern organization.

Advanced mathematics requirements and organizational health in secondary education

Conventional wisdom and crowd-sourcing have led to a uniform approach to educational preparation that strongly emphasizes the STEM-based skillsets. The pressure to yield ever higher performance scores in engineering, mathematics, science, and technology regardless of students' intentions for college majors and courses of study has led to a growing body of discouraged students. The talents of these students may lie in areas outside of STEM majors. In much the same way that Marcus Buckingham-in his research on managerial effectiveness for the Gallup organization—argues that managers must develop workers' strengths rather than focusing on the weaknesses, the American educational system must establish performance standards that mesh with the diversity of talents and interests of students who are attending or hope to attend institutions of higher education. The first step in this direction is to ensure that robust workplace-based instruction is available to students through collaborative arrangements with employers and apprenticeship programs. The efficiency of this process—which borrows from inventory control just-in-time principles—will help to ensure that training is current and reflects true employment skill demands.
