ENGL 301

Hello everyone in ENGL 301! Welcome to my Blog! This Blog is about the Web Folio and class assignments of ENG 301-Technical Communication. Below is an introduction to ENGL 301 and some expectations for this course. Besides, it has a Bio page about myself and a BLOG page related to class content. Nowadays, people communicate in writing a lot with digital technologies in the workplace. From job applications to email messages, chats to presentations, and reports to proposals, we need to be skilled communicators and information passers in business and professional activities. English 301 is planned to study the principles of written communication in these activities, and also the techniques in the preparation of applications, reports, and correspondence. It is delivered online and we practice and post our work on the BLOG page during the course. As an international student who speaks English as a second language, how to write clearly and professionally in English has always bothered me. Through the course, I hope I can achieve the objects as below:
  1. understand the particular components of writing in professional and technical contexts;
  2. master in using techniques and strategies that introduced in the course and write clearly and professionally in the workplace;
  3. enegage with classmates in online talk, peer review, and the other class assignments;
  4. make full use of the resources offered by UBC;
  5. create and plan a personal internet Web Folio with resume;
  6. develop self-editing skills.
Furthermore, I also want to make some new friends throughout the term. As the covid-19, I  have rare chance to know new people, especially with different backgrounds and majors. Therefore, this class provides a good opportunity for us to connect, and hope we can get familiar with each other throughout the term. Let’s connected and work together! If you have any questions whether it’s related to posts or other questions, please feel free to comment. Looking forward to connecting with everyone. -Han Li
