discussion topic for week 7 — response to Todd Riley

WRTG 293 students,

Please read through the following problem-based scenario about a credit card company manager who receives an application for a credit card from Todd Riley, who is not old enough to apply for a credit card without a cosigner.

Then write a short response to Todd as the scenario describes. Your response should be about 150-200 words in length.

This might be considered a conventional “bad news” situation. Nonetheless, consider whether you are really giving Todd bad news. He can, after all, get a credit card if he takes some extra steps.

In addition, please respond to at least one other student’s post in this discussion thread. In your response to a fellow student, comment on the organization, word choice, tone, or whatever else you feel is appropriate. Please draw upon the Jameson article in your response to your fellow student. Your response to the other student can be two or three sentences.
