About this course
Writing for a reader you cannot interview is a common workplace problem. Ugur Akinci examines how a business or technical writer can make better choices when the audience is only partly understood, using clues such as job responsibilities, education level and the purpose of the document.
The eight lessons cover readability measures, different types of readers, occupational categories and ways to consider whether a document served its intended purpose. The listing also describes supplementary transcripts and exercises with solution sheets, including rewriting material for different occupational groups.

Written English is the main prerequisite, and any word processor can be used. The instructor explicitly distinguishes this course from training for public speaking or creative writing; its examples and methods are intended for practical business and technical documents.
A readability score can indicate sentence-level difficulty, but it does not prove that a reader understands a task or has the information needed to act. The course’s broader discussion of audience uncertainty and measurement helps place those tools in context. External readability websites have their own terms; do not submit confidential work simply to obtain a score.
