2.   Writing with Intention - 4.0 hours/PDUs (Category 3)
Whether you're preparing a brief e-mail response, a business letter, a performance review, a multi-page proposal, or a presentation to a prime customer, you know that having a job means having to write. But if you're not a trained writer, how do you begin? The writing process actually starts before you pick up a pen or place your fingers on a keyboard. It begins with defining what you are writing, for whom you are writing, why you are writing, and which writing approach to use. "Writing with

Have you ever received an e-mail so poorly worded that you hit the delete button before you even finished reading the message?

4.   Avoiding Grammatical Errors in Business Writing - 4.5 hours/PDUs (Category 3)
Grammar: the very word strikes terror into the hearts of learners everywhere. For many people, it recalls the most difficult or most boring classes they can remember from childhood. Yet using correct grammar is one of the key skills for any business writer. Poor grammar skills interfere with communicating a clear message; moreover, they may suggest that the writer is careless and perhaps unprofessional. In this course, you will learn to recognize and repair the most common grammatical errors

5.   Crisp Composition - 4.5 hours/PDUs (Category 3)
When you send off business documents that you have written, what do you think the recipients--your readers--hope for? Do they want to plow through long-winded documents that never get to the point? Do they want to waste time puzzling out what your convoluted sentences mean? Do they want to send back numerous requests for clarification? Do they want to pull out an unabridged dictionary just to understand your document? Of course not. Your readers hope that you will work hard to write cl

6.   Writing to Reach the Audience - 3.0 hours/PDUs (Category 3)
Business writing is effective only when it informs or prompts the reader in the manner you, the author, desire. Whether your intended reading audience consists of one person or fifty, those readers will determine what kind of content you include and how you present it. If you were writing instructions for a child on how to answer the phone, it would sound very different from the same instructions written for an adult. All effective writing varies by audience--and skilled writers always write to

7.   Getting the Most from Business Documents - 4.0 hours/PDUs (Category 3)
How often have you or one of your colleagues stayed at work late to finish an important report or proposal to meet a deadline? Then two days later you receive a call from the intended recipient asking you where the report is. You faxed it over and it got lost in their fax room. Now you've missed the benefit of having met your deadline. This familiar scenario illustrates the importance of selecting an appropriate document type and delivery method for your written business documents. "Getting the

8.   The Writing Process - 5.0 hours/PDUs (Category 3)
How do you go about writing for your work? Do you procrastinate until your deadline seems like a freight train that is rapidly approaching while you stand immobile on the railroad tracks? Do you try to complete the entire document--defining your message, analyzing your audience, deciding on your approach, worrying about grammar and spelling, organizing your information, and choosing your words precisely--all in a single step? If so, there may be an easier, quicker, and far more effective way to
