This course is designed to perfect writing skills necessary to advanced
undergraduate writing in SBA courses and future writing tasks in
professional contexts. Building on skills learned in ENG 1301 and
FAS courses, it emphasizes writers’ abilities to analyze and synthesize
information and to incorporate data and opinions compellingly into texts.
The two initial weeks of the course are de- voted to the curriculum vitae,
memos, and email communication. The five following weeks are devoted
to writing case studies, and short research reports. The last half of the
semester is dedicated to carrying out a research project on a subject within
the business major and writing a research report; this includes writing a
research proposal to precede the research project itself.
