This course is designed for business and technical students and for people already in the work force who want to become proficient in business and technical communications. Major emphasis is placed on writing effective reports, manuals, instructions, and directions for specific audiences using appropriate style and format. While development of effective writing is the purpose of any English class, no other course concentrates on specific business and technical reporting styles, formats, and techniques. Revision and proofreading skills necessary for appropriate business and technical correspondence are stressed. Lab hours outside of scheduled class time will be necessary.
Prerequisites: ENG101
