How would you find out how writing works in your field? Why? How?..

To properly learn how to communicate through writing in my field of study, I would say the best way would be to actually get an internship and get some experience in the field. Being a sort of hands on kind of learner, I always thought the best way to learn something is to actually do it yourself. In an internship of co-op, you are essentially learning every aspect of the job you are seeking, but being assisted and instructed along the way. The employer doesn't expect you to know how to do your job (or how writing is done in your job) quite yet, and they are willing to prepare you to do it on your own in the near future. The best way to get an internship, is to network. Network with your teachers and the head of your department, attend the career fair and network with businesses, and this will help you get an internship.
