To introduce students to a wide range of professional and technical texts, and to develop students' skills in planning, drafting, evaluating, and editing both written and visual content.
Students will be introduced to the critical analysis of the written and visual aspects of a wide range of texts in the academic, governmental, professional, industrial, corporate, and public contexts to understand how effective communications are constructed. Students will develop knowledge on how to create effective print, online and visual communication through practice in evaluating, drafting, and revising a range of professional and technical communication, using the principles of reader centredness, useability, and persuasiveness.
