MGT 286: Business Communications Welcome everyone to MGT 286 On-line. My name is Lisa Turner and I will be your instructor for this semester. I have been teaching for SMSU for about three years and have taught MGT 286 on campus several times and am excited to be offering this class on-line. So what are we going to learn about this semester? Business Communications is a communications class that involves a lot of writing. My philosophy is to become a good communicator is to practice. I intend to give you a lot of practice with your writing skills this semester. As an introduction, we are going to touch on numerous topics. We're going to talk about communication barriers; ethical behavior in business; how to communicate in groups, how do you prepare and write a good e-mail, memo and letter; how do you prepare a good proposal and a report; multicultural communication; and how do you prepare for a good oral presentation and how do you prepare a good resume and cover letter. This class is in the College of Business Administration and has certain requirements for a reason - to be successful in business, you have to have good communication skills - written and verbal! My focus will be to teach you those skills during this semester. I look forward to our virtual adventure! |
