CATALOG DESCRIPTION
EN109 Writing for Technology and Business helps students develop and practice rhetorical methods for effective analysis and persuasive argumentation. Students write a variety of critical analyses, reports, research papers, and other documents. The course enables students to analyze information and processes in order to develop clear, effective, and applied college-level writing. Emphasis is on expository writing, including writing to different audiences and developing logical arguments with strong evidence and persuasive details. Students develop a substantial research project by devising a substantive research question, conducting scholarly research, and documenting information from outside sources.
EN109 is the curricular equivalent of EN102. It helps students develop advanced composition skills and apply them in academic essays as well as in document types used in the workplace. Students who plan careers in business, professional, and technical fields can learn to meet "real world" writing needs with standards of excellence practiced in the academic environment.
