Punctuation and Grammar for Business Writers

Class starts March 5, 2012

This breakout course teaches you how to use correct grammar and punctuation in your business and technical documents. It also teaches you how to handle some of the trickier grammar and punctuation issues that are unique to business and technical writing, and correct some of the most common grammar and punctuation errors.

Today, there are two schools of thought regarding punctuation. You'll learn which of these schools of thought you should use in your business writing, and which ones you should use only for casual communications.

Punctuation and Grammar for Business Writers is taken from our popular Great Technical Documents that teaches you how to write more effective technical documents. This course is intended for students who feel that they generally have good writing skills, but would like a quick review of punctuation and grammar conventions.

The target audience for Punctuation and Grammar for Business Writers is anyone who has to write professional and technical documents. It should be especially useful for engineers, software developers/consultants, medical writers, and technical writers.

Punctuation and Grammar is taught by Janet Underwood, an award-winning technical writer and instructor of the popular Fundamentals of Technical Writing course. Her students applaud her knowledge of technical writing and her personalized approach to her subject matter.

You may have great ideas, but if your documents have punctuation and grammar errors, you may never receive the recognition you deserve. Refresh your skills with Punctuation and Grammar for Business Writers and achieve the results you want!
