Writing Skills for Environmental Professionals

For students interested in climate change, sustainability and the environment. Consider writing as a tool. Who will read it? Why are you writing it? What do you want the reader to know or do? What structure or format effectively makes your case? We will consider these questions while building effective written communications with a focus on climate change. Students will explore audience awareness, purpose, and format as they analyze document types and create their own. Activities will include writing, reading, discussion, and peer workshops. Major assignments include a letter of inquiry and a grant proposal. Students will write a grant proposal to an imaginary climate change foundation. Preference given to upper-level majors in Environmental Analysis.
