This course is meant to help students evolve their planning and writing for applied purposes regardless of discipline. Students will be able to choose appropriate methods to complete tasks related to future and current job or academic requirements. Topics will include: Resumes, cover letters, short and long academic writing, presentations for academic and professional purposes, etc. This is an applied class so students will need to participate as fully as possible to gain full benefit from the class. As a year long course, the first semester will introduce intermediate concepts for writing and presenting with a chance for students to give presentations and to work on current writing for feedback or older writings they want to improve. The second semester will give more insight on skills for more applied professional writing and/or those conducting research requiring outside sources (to avoid plagiarism) and also a focus on phrasing by utilizing more sophisticated ways to move through writing.
