I agree with Tayler’s assessment that we have learned a great deal about professional communications. I have found my writing to be more consistently professional and just plain better. I feel confident in writing memos, proposals, or any other number of communications used in the professional field because I know the basics. The email communication is also useful and I do believe it will come in handy in my career. Like Tayler I enjoyed having guest speakers and learned many things from them. It was interesting to hear from people who a good at what they do and are able to answer questions.
From this course I learned to think of my readers while drafting a communication, which may be the most important lesson since it was repeated in almost every chapter. Tayler made a comment that she was glad she took this course. I am too and believe I am a much better writer. I would recommend this course to anyone, professional or not, who wants to better their writing skills and become a more valuable employee.
