English 308: Technical WritingSpring 2014

Kristin Winet

Course DescriptionEnglish 308 offers junior- and senior-level students the opportunity to

develop their use of the rhetorical strategies and communicationstechnologies appropriate to technical writing situations. Students willplan, create, and user-test a range of individual and collaborativeprojects including, but not limited to, technical documentation,proposals, reports, job materials, and other technical genres. Projectmanagement, documentation plans, style guides, and usabilitytesting are just some of the topics studied in English 308. Throughclient-based projects, simulations, and/or case studies, students willanalyze and reflect upon the role of communication practices in arange of technical settings. Students can expect to engage in readingdiscussions, daily assignments, on- and off-campus research,technology use, and oral reports. Prerequisite: Completion of first-year composition or its equivalent.

Course ObjectivesThe approach of this course is a decidedly rhetorical one. That is, ineach course project, you will consider the purposes, audiences, andyour role(s) as writers. The course emphasizes the changing technicalwriting environment and its role(s) within the workplace.

From the variety of majors represented in this course to the inclusionof more electronic media in workplace environments, technicalwriting as a category is marked by diversity. Keeping in mind this

diversity, in our course you will learn to: Apply rhetorical concepts and principles that focus on

audience, purpose, and context; document design; organization andstructure; and tone and style.

Produce effective documents that use format and layout toenhance readability; apply software mechanics effectively; anddevelop strategies for revising, editing, and proofreading.

Collaborate as a means of sharing information and ideas,solving problems, and working in group-style environments similar tothose in your chosen professions.

Exhibit professionalism at all times by using careful, effectivecommunication and presentation skills.

Translate technical information in ways that are appropriateand interesting within a rhetorical context.

Note: A fundamental assumption of this course is that an increasing amount ofworkplace communication will take place onlinenot merely as documents wordprocessed and printed, but in email, remote discussions, and other forms. Much of yourwork in this course will rely on email, listserv, the internet, and other electronic media.Most of your course materials (syllabus, schedule, project guides) will be availablethrough D2L.

Because genres will vary widely across projects, formatting guidelines will be given for each of the majorassignments.

Grading:Grades will consider the following aspects of writing, in the context of a particular assignment:purpose, audience, content, expression, organization, development of ideas, document design,mechanics, and maturity of thought. You must complete all of the projects and their components topass the course. Further, I will not accept a paper for a grade without first seeing a draft.

Rounding: Grades that calculate out to .5 or above may be raised to the next point if thestudent has shown initiative and professionalism in class. Otherwise, please do not ask forme to round your grade.

Appeals: I will not accept emails about your grades. If you would like to discuss your gradewith me, please send me a detailed e-memo describing your situation and ask to schedule ameeting either during my office hours or at another convenient time.

Attendance & Tardy Policy:After the first week (a student will be dropped if he/she misses the first week), attendance is

managed as follows: You may miss one class. After that, each absence will reduce your final course grade by 5%. If you miss more than 30 minutes of class time (either arriving late or leaving early), you will

be counted absent for that day.

If you come in after I have taken attendance, you must come and personally tell me afterclass that you were tardy. Otherwise, you will be marked as absent.

If you are consistently tardy, you will lose points under the Emails, Professionalism, andParticipation grade.

Professional Quality of Work:You are expected to produce high-quality professional documents that are appropriate for specific

business situations. As stated in the requirements for writing outlined in the course policiesstatement, your documents should have appropriate margins, spacing, and formatting for the typeof document you are turning in. Because genres vary widely across projects, formatting guidelineswill be given for each of the major assignments. Additionally, your assignments should be printed atleast in a minimum standard of 300 dpi. Laser printing is recommended. Finally, there should be noobvious last-minute changes to the work (i.e., use of white-out or hand-written information). All e-mails should be professional in tone and proofread carefully; they should also utilize standardpunctuation, capitalization, and spelling.

Collaborative Work:Collaborative work is a major element of this course. In fact, many projects will require you to act aseither co-developer and/or co-author. You and your team members are responsible for updating oneanother and me about assignment progress. In addition, you are responsible for negotiating allaspects of your work, including planning, drafting, revising, file managing, and scheduling of tasks.

You will also evaluate your own and your peers participation in collaborative projects, and thus, youshould maintain detailed daily notes and records about your work. I will use these evaluations in mydetermination of individual grades for collaborative projects. In general, all members of a teamreceive the same grade. There are instances, however, where one or team members are otherwiseunprofessional and/or unproductive. Should these cases occur, I reserve the right to lower grades forpoor performance.

Professional Decorum:Think of this class like a jobjust as in the workplace, it is extremely important that we maintain ahigh level of respect for each other while collaborating on projects, reviewing each others work, anddiscussing assignments.

In addition, you are not to use your cell phoneat any timeduring class. This means no calls, notext messages. Please turn off or silence your phone before each class. If there is an emergency andyou need to take a call, please step outside and politely make your call. If you are using your phone inclass, you will be asked to leave and you will receive an absence for the day.

Technology Responsibilities:Because the exchange of information and materials in this class will be largely electronic, familiaritywith certain technologies is crucial for participation and success in the course. You must:

Know how to up drafts of all files (hard drive or in the cloud) Know how to send and receive email and upload attachments, use Microsoft Office, and

upload files to D2L

Learn basic applications of Publisher, Adobe Illustrator, and/or web programs Create a website mock-up using either Dreamweaver or an online program such as Wix,

Wordpress, or Yola.

Computer Etiquette:This class meets in a computer classroom, which means you will often have the advantage ofworking on assignments in class. However, this does not mean that you have free reign to check youremail, post on Facebook, or shop onlineas in the workplace, you will receive consequences forthis. If I find myself having to compete with a computer screen for your attention, you will be askedto leave and you will receive an absence for the day.

Additionally, assignments must be printed and ready to turn in before class starts. Please do notprint assignments during class time.

Therefore, students should not be late and should not miss class.Any class work missed as a result of tardiness or absence is the students responsibility to make up, ifthe instructor allows make-up work.

First-week Attendance Policy

In accordance with the university's policy for high-demand classes, the Writing Program dropsstudents for non-attendance as follows:
