ENGL-230 Technical Writing
This intensive writing course provides an introduction to technical and professional communication. In an interactive workshop format, students learn to think critically about the informative, persuasive, and ethical dimensions of their writing. Students study rhetorical principles and apply them to an array of assignments, from brief memos to formal proposals. In addition, students learn how to adapt their writing process to rapidly-changing communication technologies, how to effectively write in a collaborative setting, and how to connect with a specific audience. (While this course is appropriate for all students, it is especially helpful for those students enrolled in the Computer Science/Information Technology programs.)
