Course Outcome Overview
By: Lindsay Chapa

2. I feel like I have
been able to
accomplish the first
course objective of
analyzing the
audience, purpose,
and context of the
projects.
Course
Objective 1
I have learned how
important it is to
identify your
audience and to take
culture and ethnicity
into consideration
when beginning the
planning for a
project.

3. Résumé
Formal
proposal
Memo
Course Objective 2
Different types of
documents are needed
for various occasions.
They can vary in
length, formality, and
may even have several
parts such as a thank
you letter that follows
an interview and your
résumé.

4. I’m not sure if I’ve completely grasped the proper way to write
“effective technical prose” while taking this course. I have
learned how easy it is to assume that the reader understands the
same things as the author although many times they may not
when writing instructions.
Course Objective 3
Write
instructions
Complete
usability
test
Revise
instruction
set

5. Technical writing is no
different than many
things in life. It requires
balance. The balance is
what makes a document
effective. There are many
parts to take into
consideration when
creating a document or
graphic.
Course Objective 4
Focal points
Color scheme
Font and visual size

6. Course Objective 5
Project Manager
Editor
Designer
Writer
This course helped identify
the team roles needed to
complete a technical writing
project. With different jobs
assigned in advance
It helped our team stay on
track and collaborate easier
and more effectively.

7. I have learned about so
many new tools and
technologies thanks to
this class. These are
important in making your
presentation effective as
well as interesting. They
can also help you keep
track of your team’s
progress.
