“Writing for the Professions” is a course for technical-program students that contextualizes writing toward career-based genres. It is an English Composition I alternative for A.A.S./Certificate Degree students that fosters success by bridging the gap between academic and real-world writing. Topics include course description, learning objectives, and comparison with English Composition.
The roundtable delivery method of a 30-minute presentation followed by a 30-minute focused small-group discussion is perfect for our topic. We expect our innovative Writing for the Professions course with contextualized career-based writing for technical-program students (in lieu of English Composition I) to excite participants and generate much fruitful discussion
