ENGL& 235 — Technical Writing
H- In this English course, students will compose texts for a variety of professional and technical audiences, across several genres and adapted to different industry, company, or brand voices, developing a toolkit for writing, revising, and technical editing based on clear and concise, audience-appropriate syntax. Students will learn how to research, organize, design and revise a proposal, a usability report, and a manual or handbook, and will practice composing graphics, emails, and other written products for a business/technical environment. In weekly reflections, students will identify personal areas for improvement in task management, genre conventions, sentence construction, research synthesis, and document design, and will craft a personal statement about their own practices, contexts, and ethics for transparent use of analytical or generative AI. In two, multi-week team projects students will collaborate in team meetings that may take place in person or in required remote synchronous online meetings.
