MGT 6052 - Business Communication

This course provides students with an opportunity to improve both their spoken communication and writing skills in a business context. The main focus of this course is mastering persuasive, ethical speaking and writing to a global business audience. Students will practice their oral communication skills in a variety of settings from informal coaching sessions to large, formal presentations. Written assignments include both traditional correspondence such as memos, letters, and proposals; as well as electronic correspondence such as email, blogging, text messaging, and instant messaging. As a way to improve their communication skills, students will engage in meaningful self analyses by examining verbal and written feedback from peers and instructors, viewing and assessing multiple videotaped presentations, and participating in writing workshops and the revision process.
