First ‘Management Communication: Written Class’
Tuesday, January 15 was the day one of my MGT Communication: Written course for this semester. The course is taught by Scholastica’s Literature Professor – James Crane. Given that I am a Management major this was a required course for me to graduate and I am definitely looking forward.
I am quite intrigued by the structure of the course as well as how organized Prof. Crane was with dates right on the first day. This not only helps the students’ to plan ahead but also unburdens the instructors’ of keeping track. Further, we briefly distinguished between academic writing and business writing. To my surprise, both these styles are different yet similar in many ways. For instance, having correct grammar and spellings is a prerequisite for both. Whereas, having a thesis statement is not a usual component in managerial communication and business writing.
Prof. Crane took some time to explain how we, as a class would be referring to the assigned text. I genuinely appreciate his elaboration on the same, since knowing how often the text is going to be tested on, helps with making decisions about sharing books or buying ones own.
I am excited about how this course aids and improves my business and formal writing skills!
