Course Description
Your writing skills are on display every day.
Writing is an expression of how you think: It expresses what you mean, want, and feel. Muddled prose implies confused thinking. In fact, weak communication skills can hinder your career advancement and can even make it difficult to get hired.
But writing well requires knowledge, practice, and confidence.
