Intelligence Communication
Friday, July 15, 2011
Location to be determined

In this one-day course, students learn the basics of written communications with decision makers, whether through a simple document summary (DocSum), a lengthy, in-depth report (Long Form Analytic Report, or LFAR), or reports in between.

Instructors emphasize clarity, concision, Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF), and user-friendliness. This is a hands-on course. Students will research an open-source topic and then produce samples of each document for critiquing by the instructors.

This is adapted from a three-credit course taught at Mercyhurst College to its students in the Intelligence Studies program.
