In a professional setting, writing provides readers information they need in a format they can understand. Unlike most academic writing, in which students demonstrate their learning to a professor who already knows the subject, in technical communication the writer is the expert, and the readers are the learners. In the hospitality and foodservice industries, students and professionals write a variety of documents for supervisors, colleagues, and customers such as explaining a problem or product, preparing a proposal, or illustrating a project. This course teaches students to adapt their writing to different audiences and purposes. This course outlines strategies for making subjects clear to readers who need to understand them. To communicate effectively with an audience, writing must meet rigorous editing standards, in addition to writing in a clear, concise style and presenting information logically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]    <\/div>\n<\/div><h4 class=\"clearfix qode-title-holder\">\n<span class=\"qode-tab-title\">\n\t    <span class=\"qode-tab-title-inner\">\n        Pastry Industry Externship II    <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<span class=\"qode-accordion-mark\">\n    <span class=\"qode-accordion-mark-icon\">\n        <span class=\"icon_plus\"><\/span>\n        <span class=\"icon_minus-06\"><\/span>\n    <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n<div  class=\"qode-accordion-content \" >\n    <div class=\"qode-accordion-content-inner\">\n        [vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]This course provides opportunities for real life experiences in an operational restaurant or related business and builds on the skills and techniques covered in previous courses.
