Course Description:
In this course, students explore the multifarious dynamics of professional and technical written style and their role as rhetorical decision-makers in their writing and revision process. Students will learn to apply the principles of professional style in producing and editing written texts, as well as applying the technical vocabulary of style in producing in-depth editorial reflections that explain and justify their decision-making processes. In addition, students will explore some of the representational and ethical issues associated with their writing style in a variety of public and professional contexts. |
