However, since charts are manually generated, they are not practical for inspecting a text during the revision process. We have developed a visualization tool called OnTopic, designed to guide students’ attention to their composing choices that support coherent writing. OnTopic uses natural language processing algorithms to dynamically visualize the topical structure of the student’s draft and thereby help students’ confront and learn to account for their composing decisions. This paper reports on a pilot study that evaluated OnTopic in a series of writing workshops. The results suggest that most students were able to successfully assess their writing from the perspective of topical structure, and develop a plan for specific revisions.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"125 31","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120819143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings reveal that, without an academic foundation, the profession is relatively unknown and practitioners have qualifications in other, sometimes unrelated, disciplines. While the current labor market is positive, interviewees are uncertain about future developments.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129630646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss how misleading graphics and data displays are constructed, focusing on five means of manipulating data: 1) scale, 2) sample size, 3) confounding variables, 4) data outliers, and 5) the visual selected for the story. We focus on these areas as some of the most common sources of concern in misleading or inaccurate data displays, yet the mathematics underlying these concepts is often absent from or covered only superficially in professional communication instruction. We further offer examples to both mathematics and communication instructors for helping students recognize misleading graphics and how to avoid them, encouraging interdisciplinary bridges to meet the multidisciplinary requirements of creating ethical data displays.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131598985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue publics can coalesce around discourses of science as a matter of taste or self-fashioning. I start by analyzing published interviews and podcasts of basketball star Kyrie Irving, who became notorious for believing in a flat-earth. I then use Irving as a case study to draw preliminary conclusions for science communication educators before previewing the next stage of the project.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114425640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In spite of calls to view technical editing from a rhetorical perspective, the way these prescriptive rules are taught sometimes still lacks a rhetorical focus. In this project, I argue that empirical usage data derived from corpora can help technical-editing instructors teach prescriptive usage rules in a more rhetorical way. Specifically, I discuss the findings from a large-scale corpus-linguistic study of prescriptive usage rules in formal and informal written English. I also discuss three guiding principles that can help technical-editing teachers use empirical data to promote a more rhetorically aware approach to their classroom instruction.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"11 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116811835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These biases allow humans to make mental shortcuts and quick decisions. They also lead to less-than-rational judgements. This paper focuses on the less-explored realm of cognitive biases in technical communication, with broad implications in engineering communication. It assembles cognitive biases in four categories that resonate with technical communicators and users: how we draw from past experiences, how we respond to stimuli, how we make decisions, and how we absorb social contexts. For each bias, the paper provides examples and analyzes how technical communicators can prevent, tackle, and harvest from the bias to improve communication effectiveness. Grasping cognitive biases has broad benefits for engineering communicators, engineering educators, and user experience professionals.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122480358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, I interviewed 20 instructors about feedback they had given on students’ resumes and cover letters; I used critical discourse analysis to code the interviews. Instructors’ mentions of content, detail, and information formed six major themes: providing and expressing information, orienting audiences, seeing information, finding information, considering detail, and revising content. Instructors often framed as a deficit, for example, a lack of information; however, when students included appropriate or meaningful content, instructors praised students. Better understanding how instructors teach students to understand, analyze, and communicate information connects students with the types of problem-solving skills necessary for today’s changing workplaces.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133454557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
