In today's fast-paced, globalized world of 140 character messages and sound bites, many of us rely on texting and email to communicate our professionalism, personality, thoughts, and concerns. Every word carries meaning and every sentence we send into the world -- either electronically or print -- needs to be an effective and compelling blend of fact, detail, color, and emotion.
Through structured in-class exercises, this course will give students the opportunity to develop and refine communication skills by writing and revising narratives, and reading and analyzing published work. Caitlin Kelly has been a regular contributor to The New York Times for decades and she will share her secrets for finding, developing, and writing compelling copy for a variety of applications including blog posts and tweets.
Students should bring a tablet or notebook computer to each session.
