Welcome to module 15 of Business Communications. This is our final week of class. This week we're going to complete the final exam which is going to be due on Monday December 10th at 9 a.m. Late exams will NOT be accepted. You will also have until this time to hand in anyway late portfolio projects. I also wanted to let you know that I enjoyed working with all of you this semester. I've been very impressed by the way you have embraced the materials in the class and improved your writing skills. It has been a pleasure working with all of you and I hope you all have a great holiday.

Welcome to week 13 of Business Communications. This week we're going to learn about interviewing for a job and we will take a short quiz. The quiz is based on the presentations, so I would suggest looking at the presentations while taking the quiz. So I would pull the presentations in one browser and pull the quiz up in another browser. I consider this unit to be one of the most beneficial in the class. If you don't know how to interview properly how will you get a job and isn't that why we're all in college. I hope you all have a great week and please let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to week 12 of Business Communications. This week we will cover chapter sixteen and complete a discussion. We will not however, have a written assignment. I want you to look at the portfolio instructions instead and start working on that. This will take you some time as you will be working in Google sites and there is a little bit of a learning curve. But I do have detailed instructions online for you. Please let me know if you have any questions and I hope you all have a great week.

Welcome to week 11 of business communications. This week we will write the cover letter for the resume that you wrote last week. The cover letter is very important as it shows you have professional writing skills. If there are any spelling or grammatical errors many prospective employers won't even consider you for an interview. The great thing is you can write a letter for this class and then use it as a template in the future. I hope you all have a great week and please let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to week ten of business communications. This week we will cover chapters 13, 14, and 15, where we will learn about finding a job. You will write your resume this week so please take this seriously as the resume is often what determines if you get an interview or not. Have a great week and please let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to week 9 of business communications. This week we're going to take exam 2. So please try to pay special attention to the due dates and the policy regarding late exams. Also, this is an open book, open note exam so it would really be advantageous for you to just take your time and get the best grade that you possibly can. I hope you all have a great week and please let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to week 8 of Business Communications. This week we will study chapters 11 and 12 and we will learn about recommendation reports and write one of our own. Before completing the assignment this week, please make sure you review your graded papers so you don't continue to make the sames mistakes and lose points. Also make sure that you're checking your grades weekly and letting me know of any mistakes. I hope you all have a great week and please let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to week 7 of Business Communications. This week we will learn how to write persuasive and negative messages. Please remember that extra credit is also now available to you. You can earn five points per week and all you need to do is find a substantive business writing that you can evaluate.

Welcome the Module 6 of Business Communications. This week we are going to start writing actual memos and letters. So you will start learning how to properly format your written communications for an organization. This will be our new routine from now on. So try not to fall behind as you're going to have a written assignment most of the weeks. I hope you all have a great week and please let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to Module 5 of business communications. This week we're going to take Exam 1 which is over chapters one through six. The questions are multiple choice and true/false, and each question is worth two points. The exam will be open for one extra week if you need to take it late, but you will receive a ten point penalty. This week you will also be able to complete a survey for five extra credit points. Extra credit can certainly be helpful to you in the future. So I highly encourage you to complete the survey. As usual, I hope you all have a great week and please let me know if you have any questions.
