Course Outline

Why Write

Whether we want to or not, most of us must write. We write to explain things, to smooth relationships, to persuade others of the value of some course of action.

icon

Write Better

If you want to be a better writer, there are four things you can do to help yourself.

icon

The Four C’s of Communication

Writing is like other forms of communication. You want people who receive your letters, reports, memos or proposals to understand what you are saying.

icon

Readability or Fog Index

Sometimes we make writing difficult for our readers. That may not be our intention, but if we use unfamiliar words, and write long, complicated sentences, the reader must work harder to understand your message.

icon

Who is Your Audience?

Courtesy is an important principle of good business writing. Be sincerely tactful, thoughtful and appreciative.

icon

Practical Language and Punctuation

Use language and punctuation in a practical manner. Rules were meant to be broken or stretched occasionally.

icon

Email and Memo

We need to consider what strategy we will use when we are writing some memos or e-mails.

icon

Spelling

Most of us have a few words that we regularly forget how to spell. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t produce letters, memos and reports that are word perfect.

icon

Proof-Reading

Proof-reading carelessly can spoil a writer’s best efforts. Proof-reading is classic evidence that writing looks different to the writer and to the reader.
