Course Description

This course offers students practice in the forms and discourses of business and professional writing as they develop, research, and revise an independent project. We begin by working on the resume and cover letter, both as professional documents and as examples of writing for a specific audience. Then each student develops an independent class project through several stages of revision, including a midterm paper, a formal oral presentation, and a final project proposal or business plan. Topics are freely chosen, though students taking the course usually propose business plans, community initiatives, or grant proposals.

Students in the CASE section must develop a proposal or business plan for their community partners.

Please note: students do not have to sign up for CASE to take one of these sections of Writing for Business and Professions, though it is strongly encouraged.
