GRAMMAR, PUNCTUATION, AND USAGE REVIEW
Are your written communications not achieving the results you desire - but you aren’t sure why? Are you frustrated because you need to frequently follow up with readers to clarify your messages? Maybe your communications are missing the mark because your writing style is hard to follow, errors are interfering with your reader’s ability to understand your message, or your sentence structure is confusing. Using a hands-on, practical approach, this course provides a quick, efficient (even fun!) review of grammar, punctuation, and usage that will help you write polished, professional business communications. You will learn how to spot errors quickly and accurately and know how to fix them. You will apply basic techniques to help you strengthen your writing style and gain confidence in your writing.
