The first set of pros of Technical and Professional Writing include learning how to create documents such as cover letters and resumes that will be useful when applying for a job and throughout your career. You also get to learn other valuable skills, such as how to create graphics.

The course is rather unfortunately titled. The title of our textbook, Practical Strategies for Technical Communication, describes the course content more accurately. Although the emphasis is on writing, a good part of the course content involves the creation of graphics, and the use of graphics together with text to create an effective, persuasive message. Oral communication also plays a role, as we'll see during the oral presentations later this semester. But that's the nature of the game now in the 21st century. It's not only the written word anymore, if it ever truly was. Writing is part of communication, and communication is a holistic experience.
