EH 306 Technical Writing

One of the most challenging aspects of workplace writing is communicating the technical aspects of a specialized field of knowledge to a general audience. As professionals become more specialized through education and experience, this act becomes all the more difficult. This course will task students with adapting a range of specialized ideas into documents and other media formats for a wide audience. To do this, students will research and read policy, technical documentation, wikis, instructions, and other common forms of workplace technical writing. Students will practice in producing some of these genres while also exploring best practices for workplace writing in general.
