Welcome to ENGL 8800/CACT 8610 Professional and Technical Writing. I have designed the class so that we will be engaging in a lot of discussion about corporate communication and technical communication. I include assignments that I think will help you develop as a professional, including an industry report, job analysis, and a resume and cover letter. I hope you find those assignments useful. Totally online courses can seem daunting, so I hope our blog discussions will be fruitful and inviting.

I'm looking forward to the semester and getting to know each of you online. Feel free to come by my office anytime to introduce yourself or chat about the course. Or feel free to make an appointment in person or on Skype. See you online.
