This document provides an introduction to a composition course, outlining why effective writing is important for work and discussing the purpose, tone, and audience of different types of writing. It explains that the course will first focus on organizing ideas into well-developed paragraphs by brainstorming and outlining, as paragraphs are the building blocks for longer writing forms. Students will learn to present themselves professionally for hiring managers, and how to write cover letters, resumes, reports, emails, proposals and web content for their jobs or research.
