Welcome to LC-1114 Communicating Technology
This course introduces written and oral communication principles and strategies that are applicable to professional and academic purposes.
Students begin by writing on a topic from their own field of study. To enhance readability of the texts, students apply organizational patterns as well as employ other writing principles that make the text more reader-friendly.
Based on their written work, students deliver an oral presentation. As part of the learning process, students analyze presentations to identify their strengths and areas for improvement, as well as practice organizing and presenting information clearly to a non-expert audience.
Throughout this course, students work individually, in pairs and in small groups to develop their presentation and writing skills. Moreover, students give and receive constructive feedback on their work and revise it accordingly.
