Excellent communication skills (both oral and written) are top requirements for professional roles. To succeed in a professional role and to effectively leverage future communication technologies and media, you must be a critical reader, have strong foundational writing and editing skills, and be able to effectively incorporate data and support evidence for persuasive story telling. In this course, you will learn to write effectively for business by: focusing on your audience, purpose, and tone; learning to design various business documents; revising and refining your writing and improving your professional vocabulary; and by crafting strong ideas and arguments that incorporate support evidence and data visualization.
