COMM-1106Professional Communication 1
As technical communicators, students will be called upon to develop a wide variety of documents. In this course students will learn how to develop public relations documents such as news releases, pitch letters, corporate biographies, and fact sheets. They will also get to stretch their writing muscles by learning to develop creative writing skills. Students will write creatively on a regular basis both outside class and in in-class sweatshop conditions. The initial focus will be on developing stories through a series of drafts to a polished final draft. Students will also develop story concepts, synopses, and outlines.
