ENGL210: Technical Writing

Because the goal of this course is to improve your ability to write clear, comprehensible examples of technical writing, most subunits include short writing activities that will give you hands-on experience in many different writing tasks.

Also, each unit includes a series of writing self-assessments that will allow you to evaluate your own writing based on specific criteria, and will provide examples and commentary on how to write successfully.

This practical focus on specific writing skills will help you learn the writing skills you’ll need in the workplace, and by the end of the course you will feel comfortable tackling a wide variety of workplace communications.
