As a fourth-year student who is about to enter the workforce, I felt the need to improve my business writing skills, which is why I chose to take English 301. In this course, I will have the opportunity to familiarize myself with the techniques of business writings, such as format, organization, appropriate word choices, and tone. This course offers a platform for me to connect with peers who have different business and education backgrounds, creating an online environment that facilitates collaboration.

The way that ENGL301 is set up is student-oriented, almost every assignment involves peer review. One unique feature about this course is that it does not have lectures in any format. The instructor’s blogs serve as guidelines that orient students to the correct way of business writings. Further to this, the assignments in this course are non-traditional, such as emails and memos. Once students master the skills in daily business communication, they move on to a major assignment which is the business report. This transition helps students to obtain writing skills step by step so that they can learn in a much more detailed way.

As a student of Interdisciplinary studies, I expect to learn practical skills about business writings, the kind of skills that I could use in professional situations. The writing skills I have for now are academic, which helps me to build goodwill but I know that professional scenarios need more than that. I look forward to writing my first business report in this course.
