Importance of WRIT 4662w

Since declaring this major and seeing that WRIT 4662w was a required, I recall being intrigued by this course. With communication taking on a digital form more and more often these days, I assumed that this course would be extremely useful in helping me achieve some of my goals and become a more competent writer and communicator. Over the course of this semester, I learned about the role of digital technologies in technical writing from a more in depth and hands on perspective; I know that this experience will be extremely useful in whichever profession I choose to pursue upon graduation in a year's time. I had the opportunity to pursue several different softwares and platforms, two of which I will touch upon in this site: structured authoring with DITA and my first static site.
