This course is designed to let business people improve the quality of the writing they actually do at work. The aim is to develop writing competency for work related tasks, not broad language proficiency. Participants are encouraged to submit the kind of reports, emails, and correspondence that they need to write on the job.
The first class is held at Sasin when the student meets the on-line tutor and learns how to interpret correction symbols and maintain and update an individual Progress Chart. Assignment #1 is completed at the first session but the remaining assignments are submitted via e mail, each week. The on-line tutor will mark up each 250- 400 word sample with correction symbols and return the work to the participant for revision who resubmits a corrected version. The instructor will then comment on the grammar, style, tone and organization as appropriate to polish the final work.
Participants can work at their own pace within the 10-week time frame. A maximum of eight 250-400 word writing samples can be submitted within the 10-week course. Longer submissions are also accepted but will be counted as two assignments. At the end of the 10 week period, the participant will receive an analysis of his/her Progress Charts to determine the source of persistent errors and a Professional WritingScore which benchmarks the participant’s overall ability to express him/herself in written English.
