Courses

For the academic year 2025-26, I’m on research leave and not teaching.

Summer 2026

English 365

Technical Writing

In this eight-week asynchronous online course, you’ll develop the skills necessary to communicate complex information clearly and effectively in professional contexts. To do so, we’ll practice understanding how to identify the audience, purpose, and context for professional communications, as well as learning their standard formats and modes. We’ll think of communication as a process, editing and proofreading for style and correctness, and we’ll conduct and reference research to inform, instruct, and persuade. The bulk of our projects this summer will center on advocating for an issue on our campus. By the end of the course, you’ll have a portfolio of sample communications that you can use for professional opportunities.
