Fridays: 8-12 ~ Room 410 Instructor: Professor Gerald J. Alred A primary goal of this course is to enable advanced students to perform basic research and to teach a theoretically coherent academic course or company training workshop in business and technical writing. Students taking this course will use relevant primary and secondary works and bibliographic resources to research, critically examine, and practice business and technical writing. As I say in The St. Martin's Bibliography, "the practice of writing
and communicating in the workplace is both the object of our study and the goal of our pedagogy. Therefore, theory is necessary to prevent us from being overwhelmed by what is local, particular, and temporal. In turn, pedagogy both mediates practice and transforms our theory." (ix)
