RPW 215W - Introduction to Professional Writing

3 credit(s) Writing Intensive
This course provides an introduction to the practice of writing in the workplace by bringing together fragments of our talents (what we know, what we can do, what interests us) in order to do the work of professional writers. Students study the language of online and print technical communication; discuss ethical problems in professional communication settings; and examine storyboards, proposals and reports, websites, charts and graphs, marketing materials, and other professional documents with a sharpened rhetorical sensitivity. Students engage in intensive practice of writing individual and collaborative documents for business and industry, including memos, letters, proposals, reports, procedures, descriptions, research designs, and basic HTML.
Prerequisite(s): RPW 110 or permission of instructor.
