Welcome to Luke’s blog. This blog was created for the purpose of English 301, a technical writing course. From the course description, English 301 involves “the study of principles of written and online communications in business and professional contexts; it includes discussion of and practice in the preparation of abstracts, proposals, applications, reports, correspondence and online communications: emails, texts, Web Folio and networking.”
After finishing this course, I expect to be proficient in various writing techniques in a professional environment. In the past I have been given the task of writing documentation or instructions for work that I have done. While I have finished the task and have been given good feedback, I feel there is still plenty of room for improvement. Through this course I hope to confidently present these documents to others as clear and concise as possible as it will undoubtedly help them become more productive with their work.
I will also hope to develop skills in peer evaluation and collaboratively work with others in analyzing and producing technical write-ups. Through these discussions I will be able to see the writing strategies of my fellow peers and will undoubtedly be valuable to help my own writing skills. This course will motivate myself to write documents of a higher standard and be able to reflect and edit my own work effectively. I am looking forward to use this opportunity to further improve my resume as well as online portfolios that are crucial to any future career opportunities.
