Week 7: Professional Communication<\/p>\n
This week, we are discussing professional writing and communication. Do some research and find a bad example of business writing. This could be a memo, press release, email, etc. that was sent by a person (representing a company) or\u00a0the company itself. You are looking for writing that is unclear, confusing, too wordy, etc. You can also look for bad resumes or cover letters from people writing about a job.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Here’s some GREAT example of bad business writing:\u00a0<\/p>\n

In your discussion, tell us about the example you choose. Why do you feel it is a good, bad example? What makes it bad, what are the consequences of the bad writing, and how could it be improved? Make sure you include a link for your example, so we can read it too!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Using the appropriate tone in interpersonal communication- namely in professional emails- is important in technical writing. Have fun sharing the example you’ve found and explaining how it could be revised.\u00a0Please be sure to post the link to where you found the email so your peers can look at it too<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
