Course Description

01:355:302 Scientific and Technical Writing

• Course Code: 01:355:302
• Semester(s) Offered: Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer
• Credits: 3
• SAS Core Certified: WCd, WCr Note: Students cannot receive credit for both 355:302 and 355:303 (Scientific and Technical Writing & Writing for Business and the Professions, respectively). The course provides practice in the forms and discourses of scientific and technical writing as students develop, research, and revise an independent project. The purpose of the class is to prepare students for their professional lives in scientific, technical, or public service fields by helping them organize their knowledge and explore ways of applying it to further develop their professional expertise. Each student develops an independent class project through several stages of revision, culminating in a final project proposal. Topics are freely chosen but must be supported by evidence from research. Final project proposals are written to a specific audience (sponsor/funding source).
