English 215, a technical writing course in which students use a writing process to research and produce various professional
documents including proposals, research reports/papers, user documentation, and customer communications. Additional
emphasis will be on collaboration and oral presentations. A tuition fee is required for each semester of this course. Students must
enroll for the full year. Course will be open only to students seeking dual credit. Dual credit information can be found
