I learned that business writing required a lot of
effort to write accurately. In the world of business, incorrect spelling and
consistent grammar mistakes could cost you your credibility. I cannot pinpoint
exactly one assignment that I found most useful, but rather, all were equally helpful.
I find myself being able to utilize everything that I've learned, from writing professional blog entries to developing grant proposals. I might use one skill more often than others, but all are critical to any future career. I am glad that we practiced creating our own resume, because this is a craft that will aid me in job hunting. I am also appreciative of the discussion boards that we were required to write, because it helped me learn so much about my classmates, and I enjoyed reading new ideas. Though the course is online, I know so much more about my classmates than if it were to be a traditional class setting. I notice that in a traditional class setting, knowing your classmates are less valued or are often ignored.
As much as I dislike group work, this course has taught me the importance of being able to work as a team to produce quality assignments. In the future, there is no doubt that I will be working with others, and this class has given me that experience. Even though the course was online, I was amazed at how well group work turned out.

Overall, I am glad that I decided to take English
210. Unlike the many English classes I’ve taken, this was a composition course
that has taught me so much more. Business writing is not just for those
majoring in business, but anyone who wishes to enter a professional career. I
appreciated the focus on the quality of writing, as “its use is seen as a mark of
professionalism and intelligence” (Lentz 475). In “MBA
Students’ Workplace Writing: Implications For Business Writing Pedagogy And
Workplace Practice” Paula Lentz emphasize on the importance of workplace
writing, because “Employers frequently complain about the state of their
employees’ writing skills” (474). However, I truly believe that this class will
help me prevent this common issue, as I have grown to become a more careful,
and diligent writer.
