Description

In this class, you will gain a broad range of writing skills to prepare you for stepping into the workplace as a professional. We will design a survey, learn strategies for effective memo writing, professional emailing, and proposal writing. In teams, you will craft an instruction set, compose recommendation reports, and plan and promote events. You’ll create a professional website, and we’ll learn about digital usability testing. As we compose across these various professional genres and modes, we'll consider together what it means to write clearly and succinctly for defined, targeted audiences. You’ll leave the class with a professional website and samples of projects that showcase your skills. Recommended prerequisite ENG 120.
