collaboration and cooperation with other students, instructors, and, if applicable, Service-
Learning contact representatives.

Focus Areas
The core of this course consists of the following four skill areas.
• Research Skills (using primary and library research to discover information)
• Correspondence Skills (learning the generic conventions of each)
• Explanatory or Demonstrative Writing Skills (to disseminate technical information to either
nontechnical or technical readers, such as descriptions, instructions, informational handouts,
FAQs, etc.
• Visual Communication Skills (may appear as separate assignments or as components of
other assignments).

It further focuses on more advanced skills like:


1. At least one analytical report, white paper or proposal written for specific audience(s) and
that is based on significant and in-depth primary and/or secondary research, which aims to
analyze a problem, make recommendations, promote a new technology, or propose a
solution.
2. An abstract which effectively condenses technical research into a condensed format. Note:
The abstract assignment can be used as either a stand-alone assignment or related to the
report assignment.
3. A set of written instructions about a technical process that readers might perform in a
technical, medical, or scientific setting.
4. A precise description of an object, mechanism, or process included in a set of instructions,
short report, webpage, wiki, data sheet, or other informational document.
5. Several brief assignments to demonstrate genre knowledge of correspondence protocols,
including at minimum professional letters, memoranda, email messages, and/or discussion
forum posts and blogs.
Grading Student evaluations will be based on a series of written reports, class participation,
and an end of term report.
