Written and Oral Communication Skills
There are four competencies that must be addressed to successfully complete the Written and Oral Communication Skills area. A few examples of where you can find evidence to address these competencies include but are not limited to course assignments with writing samples, reflections on changes in the writing process and published works.
The objectives that should be addressed include:
- Demonstrate effective communication skills appropriate for topic, audience and occasion.
- Write coherent, well-supported and carefully edited essays and reports suitable for a range of different audiences and purposes.
- Employ the full range of the writing process, from rough draft to edited product.
- Incorporate both print and electronic resources into speeches, presentations and written documents.
Although many of these objectives will be addressed in your General Education courses (see the Undergraduate Announcements), you will want to add the best examples of your work throughout your time at Clemson University. This will demonstrate evidence of your academic growth and accomplishments.
