Technical Writing

An English course with emphasis on the communication aspect of business, particularly English 301 focuses on the preparation of abstracts, proposals, applications, reports, correspondence and online communications. This is an important side of English, and is not always recognized. Much like anything else, business requires a specific set of tools and the correct use of English and writing is a large portion of that. I expect for this course to be very helpful and a new look at writing. Up until now although many of my interests fall into the business world, the English classes that I have been a member of up until now have been English classes in a more traditional sense. This is what has drawn me to this class; I am looking to become a better writer, particularly in formal settings and forms of writing that are continually changing, such as online and networking. The prospect of creating this blog is both intriguing and challenging. Challenging because I have never created my own blog, but also intriguing as learning to write in these new mediums will be very important to future opportunities and I hope that this will help prepare me for these.
