Communications for Fire & Life Safety

This course is designed to reinforce and expand on the writing skills students require in the technical workplace. Students will learn to select and use appropriate research, language, layout and graphics for technical documents. Emphasis will be placed on the process of completing any on-the-job writing assignments, the specific formats most often used, and related communication tasks such as oral presentations. To help reach these goals, the course will focus on the elements of clear writing, and the necessary critical thinking that must precede good writing.
