UAENG 306 X - Professional Communication

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This course provides students with the skills they need as communicators in professional environments with an emphasis on written communication. Students will acquire knowledge of correct format and writing style for memos, letters, reports, resumes, cover letters and web pages. They will learn to approach each writing assignment by first determining the purpose of the communication–to persuade, console, demand, request, inform, or convey good or bad news–and then by analyzing the audience to best achieve their goal. The students will gain experience communicating orally in both formal and informal situations. They will also confront issues of intercultural business communication and gender and communication at work.
