We will practice writing a variety of professional documents such as resumes, letters, memos, proposals, and reports. Two key assumptions behind the course are the following: * Writing (as well as speaking) is rhetorical: Effective communicators consider their audiences and their purposes as they plan, draft, and revise their communications. * Workplace audiences are very different from academic ones in how they read (or listen) and respond to communications. The objectives of Professional Writing are for every student to be able to: Analyze a writing task and its rhetorical context, including the purpose of the communication, its audience, its uses, and its constraints. Study the basic features of professional writing genres and learn how to modify these features in response to audience and situation. Write usable, persuasive, clear, accurate, and readable documents. Develop a professional style of working in teams and of managing team projects.

Course Description 

 

Writing 3015 aims to prepare students for on­the­job writing in business and technical professions. We will practice writing a variety of professional documents such asresumes, letters, memos, proposals, and reports.  Two key assumptions behind the course are the following:

 

*        Writing (as well as speaking) is rhetorical:  Effective communicators consider their audiences and their purposes as they plan, draft, and revise theircommunications.

 

*        Workplace audiences are very different from academic ones in how they read (or listen) and respond to communications.

 

 

 

The objectives of Professional Writing are for every student to be able to:

 

Analyze a writing task and its rhetorical context, including the purpose of the communication, its audience, its uses, and its constraints.Study the basic features of professional writing genres and learn how to modify these features in response to audience and situation. Write usable, persuasive, clear, accurate, and readable documents.Develop a professional style of working in teams and of managing team projects.
