ENGL 381 - English At Work Writing

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

English

Description:

The communication and critical thinking skills cultivated in English courses can be transferred to a wide range of professional and public contexts. This writing workshop will introduce students to professional genres of writing that they are likely to encounter in the workplace as we consider the rhetorical and social functions of such documents. In addition to considering how English skills have prepared them for a variety of careers, students will draft professional documents to use in future applications for jobs and graduate programs. They will also work closely with a community organization to identify its writing needs and write to meet those needs. In addition to meeting the Writing requirement in the English major, this course also involves community service that counts toward the Service Learning Scholar Program. This course fulfills the Writing requirement for English majors.
