What I Gained From This Class

I have always dreaded English classes for their lengthy page requirements covering boring generic topics. It was a great relief that this class transcended that trend. The writing style centered on being concise and to the point avoiding any extraneous filler. Being a Business major this writing style will be a necessity in effective communications in the workplace.

My favorite aspect of the class was the presentations by real professionals from Koin News and the lighting business copywriter. The copywriter’s presentation has inspired me to consider marketing/advertising as a possible major. The practice writing exercise incorporated during her lecture was a wonderful hands-on experience, transcending the standard passive involvement typical of most lectures. The Koin lecture was also very interesting. I felt considerably less competent writing the crime spot exercise but I feel it was a good glimpse into the field for others who might possess better skills in this particular niche.

I also value the fact that our professor has considerable real world experience in business versus a purely academic professor. All of the lectures had a clear direction that focused solely on relevant writing skills vital to my success in the business workplace.
