Institution:

Millersville University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Focus upon the rhetoric(s) of professional communication within the contexts of students' own on-the-job writing: how to thoughtfully select language, visual and audial texts, and deliberately designed formats to accommodate writers' intentions as creative problem-solvers and to meet the needs of diverse audiences. This course is designed for both practicing professionals and working people aspiring to new professional positions. In a workshop format and, at times, working in teams, students will compose modes of discourse typical of professional writing, including but not limited to electronic and/or print ad copy, web content, brochures, non-profit pamphlets, letters, informal reports, formal reports, promotional campaigns, and/or recommendations; social media writing for websites, wikis and blogs; students' own websites, wikis, and blogs.
