Many businesses suffer from a lack of personnel who can write effective communications. This course will help students of business administration learn how to communicate more effectively.

Although the name of the course is Report Writing, this course covers a lot more - and a lot less.

It covers more, because it also deals with business writing other than reports.

It covers a lot less: It does not include basics of mechanics, such as spelling and punctuation.

Those who are not familiar with these issues may take the course. Errors in mechanics will not affect your grade. When you complete the course, you will know how to prepare any important business document, but somebody else will have to review your document to check the mechanics.

Students will be taught the basics of writing layout, arrangement, content, and form, as well as the writing skills themselves for various genres, including reports, letters, memos, and other forms of communication.

The course will include a lesson about the use of the computer for writing. That lesson will help students understand how to do certain searches in search engines, how to prepare footnotes, how to prepare letters on the computers, and reports, faxes, and other documents on the computer.

Students will be expected to have a basic knowledge of word processing.
