Course Description

Professional Writing

This short, non-credit class aims to give students an overview of the key elements of successful writing, and equip them with the tools to approach any writing assignment, from memos to emails to reports to research briefs. This class is designed to be a companion piece to other coursework, and students will be asked to bring in assignments from other courses to work on in class. Topics covered include introductions, structure and organization, paragraphs and sentences, and the use of evidence. All work will take place in class—there will be no additional assignments. Any student who attends for the duration of the course will have access to additional tutoring hours with the instructor through the end of the semester. Writers of all levels are welcome. The course is offered in the Fall semester.
