WRIT 4550 - Proposing and Persuading


RPI’s slogan is “Why not change the world?” However, to change the world, we must write persuasive proposals to support our research and occupational pursuits, obtain funding, and present our projects to others. Therefore, students in this class learn to identify different types of proposals, as well as where to locate Requests for Proposals, Calls for Proposals, and grants. Students also learn to develop clear, feasible plans, schedules, and budgets.
