Description
This course was previously numbered .
Computer technology provides powerful tools for processing textual and graphic content for professional and technical communication. In daily professional life, written documents are used to inform, persuade, and report to others about key activities, both inside an organization and externally. However, beyond basic spelling and grammar checkers, the computer will not necessarily make the student a better writer. The purpose of this course is to improve the writing ability of students in their professional communication with others.
This course will provide experience and feedback on writing effective and concise memos, emails, letters, reports, technical papers, and other written communication essential in any professional field. It also includes extensive information on using the Internet as a writing and research tool. After receiving instruction on writing style and document formatting, online students will complete a series of writing projects that will be critiqued and returned by the instructor.
