Description

While composition courses have traditionally aimed to prepare students for writing essays in college, they also need to help prepare students for workplace writing. Showing students how they can apply various writing strategies in the workplace helps to engage them more fully in the learning and writing processes and help them to experience greater success in college, in their personal lives, and in their chosen career fields.
