ENC 4404 Fall 2023 Fiscus-Cannaday

The purpose of this course is to prepare you for designing documents, writing content, and copy-editing: three areas of expertise that you might take in future careers. Throughout our course, we will consider issues of inclusive design, writing, and editing practices. We will begin the semester with an overview of design principles, so that you can create realistic replicas of the genres you want to create. Then, we will learn the basics to writing for social change—and apply that knowledge to creating our own social campaigns. As we do, we will practice design and media writing, along with including a brief introduction to copy editing.

This course counts toward the “EWM Advanced Requirements” for the EWM major and can be used as electives credit for most other majors across the university. All are invited.
