Communicating Across Contexts COMM 2017
Our Communicating Across Contexts course offers you the workspace you need to develop written communication skills for today’s world. Learn to unpack writing by breaking it down into small steps and developing a solid writing routine. Start from the basics of purpose, audience, and context, and investigate what it takes to inform, persuade, or entertain in academic, professional, and public contexts. In the spirit of equity and anti-racism, this writing course engages with texts covering a range of topics that reflect our diverse community.
