This course will provide a quick refresher on basic writing concepts (such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation) – the things that we often miss especially when completing work under pressure. An overview of some the typical business documents – letters, reports, proposals – that you may have to deal with, with tips on structure, style etc. There will be activities in as many areas as possible, to give you some practice in structuring your documents. Note you won’t be doing much actual writing - this is neither an English course nor a word processing course. We’ll also spend a little time on polishing/reviewing – it’s like reading over your answer when you’ve finished a question in an exam (if you ever get the time!). You always find something.
