Introduction to the Principles of Professional Communication (CW151) introduces students to key principles and rhetorical strategies of writing texts in non-academic settings. Although informed by rhetorical theory, this course encourages students to examine and practice a range of techniques to create appropriate and effective texts.
By concentrating on audiences, purposes, forms, and formats of professional correspondence, students will write and design a variety of documents which emphasize content, organization, tone, and readability. The course may address issues of oral communication; however, the primary focus will be on learning and conscientiously applying techniques to generate written documents in business contexts. • • • Please note: Due to university budget cuts, this course now runs only once a year—most likely during the spring semester—as funding becomes available. Enrollment information will appear on CalCentral and on the College Writing Program website. |
