BA410 – Strategic Writing in Organizations
I’d like to recommend a course for you this winter, BA410: Strategic Writing in Organizations taught by Ron Severson.
The course is designed to prepare students to serve as LCB Writing TAs and, even more importantly, to prepare you to become writing and communication specialists within your future organizations. This will certainly help you get a good job as organizations spend a lot of money to bring in experts when they do not have the internal expertise. Those who hire our students care immensely about their writing and communication abilities, and this course can put the few, the many, over the top.
Here’s the info from the class schedule.
