Writing for the Workplace develops students’ effective communication in professional contexts. This effective communication is based on an awareness of and appreciation for discourse communities as well as knowledge specific to subject matter, genre, rhetorical strategy, and writing process. This course presents an approach to communication that helps students determine the most effective strategies, arrangements, and media to use in different situations within the workplace. Students will produce a variety of documents and presentations for professional audiences while gaining more confidence and fluency in written, visual, and oral communication.
