This course applies the principles of effective communication to the creation of effective letters, memos, emails, and written and oral reports for a variety of business situations. The course emphasizes planning, organizing, composing, and revising business documents using word processing software for written documents and presentation-graphics software to create and deliver professional-level oral reports. Since this course is designed for students who already have college-level writing skills, very little time will be devoted to the basics of writing or grammar. (C-ID BUS 115) (CSU)
