English 301 is a course that allows students to properly immerse themselves in a professional writing environment while being on an online platform. English 301 involves studying and understanding the principles and concepts of written work in both business and professional settings through a variety of online assignments and collaborative work. Some of these concepts include understanding the compositions of  paper proposals, abstracts, vouchers, and reports. No every document is treated and created equally. This course not only teaches students how to create a “one size fits all” document, but a variety of skills that can better tailor a specific format for a specific audience.

This course is divided into four units. The topics for each unit are:

Unit 1 – Principles, Practices and People

Unit 2 – Designing a Report Proposal; Defining Terms with Audience in Mind

Unit 3 – Designing a Report Outline & Draft; Building your Resume and Job Application Skills.
