This course is a workshop and seminar in which students practice forms of writing that are common in professional contexts. Examples include business correspondence, job application materials, proposals, and reports. Other communication and collaboration practices that occur in the workplace may also be covered, such as group work and oral presentation. The course will teach students to consider audience, purpose, document design, and language use in all the texts they produce.
