Title: Module 2 Introduction: (CU1 M2)
Course: SkillsCom WR 227 14.0 > Section: Credit Unit 1 Module 2 Persuasive Technical Writing

Although much of the technical writing you will do for this course is meant to be objective and unbiased, another form of technical writing is clearly persuasive. Resumes, cover letters, scholarship or grant applications, and work proposals are all examples of persuasive technical writing. Whether it be selling yourself to a prospective employer, asking for a raise, or applying for scholarship funds, persuasive technical writing could very well be the most important writing you ever do. Module 2 will focus on the salesmanship of technical writing and culminate in putting together an employment package that consists of a resume and cover letter to a prospective employer.

Module Outcomes:

- Learn and demonstrate the basics of persuasive writing.

- Construct a professional letter/email appropriate for a professional setting.

- Develop and revise a professional resume and cover letter.
