Description:

Description: Students with training in editing and communication have improved job opportunities.

Specifically, Editing for Professionals will focus on learning principles of design, applying ethical models of communication, and developing an awareness of the writer/editor relationship in the 21st century. Smaller assignments are designed to help students learn to use copyediting marks (hardcopy and electronic), analyze rhetorical choices, and edit texts for a myriad of audiences, both local and global; similarly, the editing projects encourage students to cultivate their skills by creating and revising professional documents. Students will conduct a substantive edit of documents in the following categories: a media story, a manual/report, and a website. WRIT 367 meets in a computer classroom to allow for an emphasis on the technologies of editing, and it will fulfill the technology requirement of the Touchstone program.
