Writing effective correspondence, instructions, proposals, and informal and formal reports. Students will take on the role of professional technical communicators as they explore the purpose, audience, and genre conventions of technical documents across disciplines. Students will learn about the use of style, content organization, standard document formats, rhetoric, and ethics when preparing technical communication. Assignments may include writing effective correspondence, formal and informal reports, job application materials, and proposals.

This section of ENC4293 is designated as an Integrative-Learning Experience (IE) course. This designation will be noted on transcripts. Integrative-Learning Experience (IE) courses offer students a chance to explore integrative pathways that connect the core knowledge and skills of their major to real-world professional and civic contexts. Students work closely with their professors and peers to develop, reflect on, and articulate their goals. Although many courses include aspects of integrative-learning, to be designated an IE course integrative-learning content must be central rather than peripheral to the syllabus. For questions concerning Integrative Learning, please contact Experiential Learning at HIP@ucf.edu.

Our Integrative-Learning Experience (IE) in this course will involve a multimedia presentation. This will allow students to connect real-world experiences to course objectives and will ensure that the significant time you put into your class project leads to meaningful results. If any student has a valid objection to a proposed IE project or placement, he or she must let me know during the first week of class or before the drop/add deadline so we can discuss options.
