Course Description
Business Writing is an introductory course designed to help students develop and refine their writing skills. In this class, students' writing skills will be "fine tuned," and students will communicate more effectively in a business environment. The three main goals for Business Writing are as follows:
- Develop workplace writing based on knowing your purpose and understanding your audience
- Acquaint you with workplace writing situations and tasks related to audiences you will communicate with in a business/working environment
- Introduce you to the most appropriate writing styles for different work-related situations you may encounter
In this course, students can expect to (1) plan, compose, and edit their own writing, (2) evaluate written communication, their own and the writing of others, and (3) connect oral presentation skills with writing skills.
Note: One section of English 205, section 121, will be offered off campus at the Logemann Community Center, 6100 W. Mequon Rd, Mequon. The course is offered on Wednesdays from 6:00-8:40 p.m. Three sections of English 205, sections 222, 223, and 224, will be offered online.
