This course is intended to introduce students to the theories and practices of workplace communications. Attention will be devoted to the ethical and relational implications of communication in the workplace, as well as to the development of clarity, conciseness and correctness in communication. Written assignments will include business letters, memoranda, resumes, bibliographies, and reports. Students in face-to-face sections of the course will make oral presentations; those in on-line sections will make an on-line presentation using appropriate software. As much as possible, assignments and class discussion will be oriented to the specific career interests of students.

Lecture Hours: 45
