Class Description

Description

Effective business communication requires proficiency in grammar, punctuation, parts of speech, strategic word choice, and sentence construction. In this focused seven-hour course, you will review comprehensive punctuation rules, learn techniques for choosing precise and impactful words, and practice writing strategies that will immediately improve your professional writing quality. While other courses help develop your ideas and document structure, this specialized course provides essential training in the technical aspects of written communication that ensure your message is clear and error-free.

To communicate your ideas effectively in professional contexts, you must eliminate spelling errors, word misuse, and sentence structure problems that undermine credibility. By the end of this course, you will be able to identify the parts of speech, recognize and correct common grammatical errors, and apply effective editing techniques that polish your writing to a professional standard.

    The class has good materials but relies on students reading aloud the manual with a little discussion about each module. Although is 10 to 5, we finished early, and we had no opportunities to do the exercises in the manual. That is what we all needed. To practice the mini-lesson with the instructor's support. The instructor told us to do the exercises at home. I can read a manual and do grammar exercises on my own. I do not have to pay 325.00 for that experience.
