About this course

Understanding Advanced Technical Writing for your Newlane credit.

What is Advanced Technical Writing?

Advanced Technical Writing is the study of how to explain information clearly in professional settings. It focuses on writing that helps people do something, understand a process, or make a decision, such as emails, memos, instructions, reports, proposals, resumes, and cover letters. The course also covers how to write for different audiences and how to handle ethical and legal issues in communication.

How the course teaches you

Advanced Technical Writing is a 3-credit online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grading breakdown is 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so students are evaluated on both ongoing work and cumulative performance. When the course appears on your transcript, Newlane University recognizes it as Communication & Information Literacy GE, which means it can satisfy a general-education requirement there.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds writing habits that matter in workplaces and everyday situations: clear emails, usable instructions, concise reports, and well-structured proposals. At Newlane, that credit counts toward Communication & Information Literacy GE, so it can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. It is useful if you want writing that helps you explain information, evaluate sources, and communicate with different audiences.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you finish the course, the transcript is sent to Newlane University for review. Newlane's registrar applies the credit as Communication & Information Literacy GE, which places it in the general-education portion of the degree plan rather than as a major course. That recognition can help fill a gen-ed requirement in Newlane programs, including the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts and the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Newlane accepts up to 90 transfer credits, with transfer capped at 75% of the degree.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students planning to transfer to Newlane who want a general-education credit that applies to Communication & Information Literacy GE. It can also help if you are trying to stay within Newlane's transfer limits, since up to 90 credits may transfer and no more than 75% of the degree can come from transfer. It is not the best choice if you need a lab, math, or major-specific course instead of a communication-focused gen ed.
