Business Writing Essentials

COURSE INTRODUCTION:

The Business Writing Essentials course provides students with a comprehensive review of grammar and writing techniques. These techniques are needed to further develop the required writing skills to produce documents for business use. The course focuses on word usage, grammar, and punctuation, and provides the necessary foundation for other business writing or correspondence courses. This course also provides an overview of grammar trends, based on a Canadian perspective.

Learning objectives for each lesson are accomplished through a combination of theory and hands-on tasks. The tasks provide ample opportunity for students to practice, apply, and develop basic business writing skills.

A practice exercise and review questions are included at the end of each lesson to measure progress and reinforce the skills learned. There is also a lab exercise at the end of the course to provide further practice and review, to reinforce the topics learned throughout the course, and to help prepare students for the final exam.
