Effective Writing

This course is designed primarily for business professionals; those who have to write as part of the workplace environment or for academe and who need to write professionally and productively. The focus is on the preparation and presentation of professional and business documents, either for internal use or for clients, and the creative process that goes into their development. It will be equally useful to business managers, professionals and students (especially postgraduate students) who need to write term papers and theses. It is not directed at those writing fiction or prose although much of the course content will be relevant to those writing in this genre.
