Advice for Students

You are so lucky to be in this class because Angie is an incredible teacher. You will find how meaningful English 304 is as you positively affect the local community. Be prepared to work hard throughout the Spring semester. English 304 is enjoyable and challenging. You will be working with real clients in real situations.

The group project is the main focus of the class. The project proposal may seem overwhelming at first. However, since it is a group project, the work is distributed between 4-6 people. Get to know your classmates and choose wisely when deciding who you would like to work with on the project. Remember to pull your weight throughout the group project because although there are many assignments during the semester, the end result is very rewarding.

You will be writing a blog each week basically about your thoughts and opinions on different things. It is important to remember to write each week. They are due every Sunday night.

During the semester you will write a resume and cover letter. You will also have a mock interview with Angie. This interview is highly effective in providing practice for any future interviews that you may have. Work hard on your resume and cover letter because these two documents will be very valuable for you.

Enjoy the semester in Business Writing!! You will learn so much about the business world!!
