This is what we were told about the course and what we would be doing:

“Students will complete assignments linked to the technical writing process in order to write successfully on the job in this course. This course will focus on skills such as defining purpose, understanding readers, understanding clients, constructing effective sentences and paragraphs, composing drafts, testing drafts, and revising the quality of finished documents, in addition to learning to generate written documents for technical and business professions. Students will be able to produce communications that will flourish in the workplace after completing the course.”
