During the final weeks of class,
students will work in teams of 3-5 people, helping a campus organization,
academic department, or area business write documents.
In consultation with the course
instructors, each team will solicit a local organization or business
for various writing tasks that will serve as the team's final
course project.The nature of these projects vary from group to
group because the project will be greatly controlled by the client
each group chooses, as well as that client's needs. Projects
may include proposals or executive summaries, marketing reports,
public relations pieces, policy guidelines, grant proposals,
training manuals, brochures, and so forth.
When the course was last offered,
students wrote, revised, and formatted documents for the following
organizations: CalCorps, Clean Coalition, Dreambox 3D Printing,
and Young Entrepreneurs at Haas (Y.E.A.H).
