About ENGL 301
Effective communication is vital when interacting with others in various disciplines on a daily basis. English 301 is a course that aims to improve students’ written and online communication skills in business and professional settings across a range of forms. Specifically, this course focuses on providing students with the strategies and techniques for effective communication while being engaged with peers to improve document writing and analysis in the forms of abstracts, proposals, applications, reports, and emails. Additionally, students in this course will be involved in developing a Web folio, presenting our resume, cover letters, and references. As a whole, students are expected to work independently, actively consulting the instructor, and collaboratively with peers.
By taking this course, I hope to improve my written and online communication in professional and business settings. I feel that this course is extremely useful in daily life as job searches are dependent on your resumes, cover letters, and references so having the ability to cohesively write and organize these documents is beneficial. Also, we will be communicating with various people in our careers so knowing what to write in an email, or a report, or a peer review and how to write them will largely help in getting the main point across. In all, this course will allow me to practice these skills with my peers to which I can apply what I’ve learned in my career.
