Your homework this week focuses on understanding the class goals, structure, and general context for professional communication. This episode overviews my general classroom policies, offers the foundations for technical communication and information design, and suggests 5 tips for writing this semester.

I want to be a collaborative work-leader who empowers you to grow. I value student self-efficacy—your belief in your abilities—and skill applicability in my classrooms, which is why I enjoy teaching strategic and technical communication. I also love creating courses that feel like a workplace (in a good way!). The assignments, activities, and grades reflect a combination of classroom best practices and my own experiences in content marketing, public relations, technical editing, professional development, and general office workplaces. I promise to help you feel confident sharing information for business and administrative contexts. I got you!
