Business Communication (Fall 2005)

Notes and Activities for August 31

Today we’ll be:

1) Setting up the laptops and connecting to the wireless network.

2) Talking about the Recommendation Report Project, which consists of:

  • Observing communication practices
  • Talking to people within an organization or group
  • Identifying a specific issue or problem
  • Researching the issue and possible solutions
  • Making recommendations to solve the problem

Possible recommendations which your group could make : improvements to communication practices, adopting new or changed communication practices (Web site, online communication, print materials, etc), developing materials for specific audiences

For example:

  • Examining how the Niagara English Department communicates with its majors
  • English Department faculty and majors: observed and interviewed
  • Majors feel as if they are missing information and missing a sense of community with each other and with faculty
  • Recommendations: add more information to Web site, provide online communication options, start a club or series for English majors

For next Wednesday: think of possible groups or organizations with which you would like to work and send a list to the instructor by e-mail

3) Reviewing the guidelines for the Job Search project.

4) Discussing your majors and possible jobs that you’re interested in pursuing.

5) Completing job skills/tasks inventory (on laptops) and e-mailing the results to the instructor.

Searching for a Job or Internship: Assignment Guidelines

Description

An important part of business communication is being able to communicate effectively in the job search. After all, if you can’t get a job, you can’t conduct any business communication!

This project will require you to:

  • Identify a type of job or internship for which you are qualified and would like to have
  • Research and analyze advertisements for jobs or internships and discuss their common features
  • Locate a specific job for which you will apply
  • Create a resume tailored to the needs of your field and the needs of a specific position
  • Research and write a cover letter applying for a specific position

You will submit drafts of each component of the project to the instructor and to the class, and receive oral and written feedback to help you revise. Then you’ll submit a portfolio which contains the final versions of your job ad analysis, resume, and cover letter.

Deliverables

This project will require you to create three documents.

Job Ad Analysis

You will write a 2-3 page (double spaced) analysis where you:

  • compare and contrast two advertisements for jobs or internships for which you would be qualified
  • explain how the advertisements use language or concepts specific to your field
  • discuss possible meanings for any vague language in the advertisements (for example: what do you think they mean by “Excellent professional communication skills”?)
  • explain what skills you have that qualify you for the positions

The first draft of the Job Ad Analysis will be due on September 12.

Resume

You will create a one page resume that:


  • presents your work experience, educational experience, skills, and contact information in an appropriate resume format (functional, chronological, or mixed)
  • is tailored to the requirements for a specific position and makes an argument for your suitability for that position
  • is formatted according to appropriate conventions for your field of employment
  • uses conventions of document design (such as headings and spacing) to present information effectively on one page

The first draft of the resume will be due on September 14.

Cover Letter

You will write a 1-2 page cover letter which:

  • applies for a real position
  • demonstrates that you have researched the company or organization and know your audience
  • uses appropriate tone and style
  • is formatted according to conventions for cover letters

The first draft of the cover letter will be due on September 21.

Portfolio

Finally, you’ll submit a portfolio which contains the revised versions of your job ad analysis, resume, and cover letter on October 3rd.

Grading Criteria

Each element in your portfolio will be graded separately, but you will also be graded on how well your resume and cover letter work together to make a persuasive case for your employment.

The portfolio will be graded on how well you:

  • Research and analyze the job advertisements
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the conventions for job ads, resumes, and cover letters
  • Use research and course material to shape the content and format of your job documents

Grading rubrics will be returned with the portfolio which explain the specific criteria used to grade each assignment. You can earn a total of 200 points for this assignment.

  • Identify needs for information in business communication: Determine what information you need to find a job and what information your audience needs to know about you.
  • Access information: Research job opportunities and companies to which you will apply.
  • Evaluate information: Analyze job ads and evaluate the information they provide; provide feedback on how your peers use information.

Course Description

“A basic course in organizational communication theory and practice. Communication is viewed as a behavioral science involving interaction between the message sender and the audience. Emphasis is on practical techniques of professional communication. Prerequisite: WRT 100 or permission of instructor.” (Undergraduate Catalog)

General Curriculum Goals

This course meets the following goals for the English department and the Writing Studies minor.

English Department Goals

The department seeks to provide students with the ability to convey ideas with clarity and power in oral and written formats, using style and organizational strategies suited to the audience, the subject matter, and the rhetorical purpose. Students develop and practice these skills by reading, analyzing, and critiquing, in both oral and written formats, a wide variety of texts: literature; literary criticism and theory; and business, technical, and government documents.

Writing Studies Minor Goals

This minor is intended not only to strengthen writing instruction across the disciplines, but also to responsibly prepare students for the steadily increasing number of specialized writing positions in governmental agencies, industry and nonprofit organizations. Students who complete courses in this minor will gain experience writing in technologically intensive and collaborative settings.

Course Objectives and Method of Instruction

After completing this course, you will be able to:

Identify needs for information in business communication:

  • explore consequential issues in workplace settings
  • analyze workplace audiences and their information needs
  • determine appropriate genres for various communicative purposes
  • make plans for gathering appropriate information to complete a work project


Access information:

  • design appropriate research strategies (Web, print, field research) based on the purpose, audience, and context for a project
  • conduct library, online, and field research to meet your information needs 


Evaluate information:

  • assess the credibility and relevance of data gathered
  • provide oral and written feedback on the use of information in various documents, including your peers’ documents


Use information:

  • learn how workplaces use information for various purposes
  • present appropriate information in written, visual, and oral formats
  • plan, draft, revise, and edit a variety of workplace-specific documents
  • work individually and collaboratively to create documents
  • develop effective style and tone for business communication
  • create usable and visually effective document designs


Attribute information:

  • learn how information is attributed in different genres of business writing
  • use appropriate documentation strategies to attribute research in your work
  • write ethically and responsibly as a member of an organization and society

To help you achieve these goals, a variety of methods will be used: lecture, presentations, readings, analyses, and individual and collaborative work in and outside of class. I encourage you to meet with me in one-to-one conferences outside of class, and you can expect written commentary on drafts of each major assignment to guide your revision process.

You will be expected to work individually on two projects and collaboratively on the final project. When you work collaboratively, you will be expected to evaluate the performance of your group members as well as to notify the instructor of any difficulties your group is experiencing.

Academic Honesty


According to the Niagara University Undergraduate Catalog:

The integrity of an academic community necessitates the full and correct citation of ideas, methodologies, and research findings to the appropriate source. This is necessary to protect the original work, whether it is found in reference material, other published matter, or unpublished communication from faculty, other scholars, and fellow students. In addition, each student can promote academic honesty by protecting his or her work from inappropriate use. Academic honesty is essential to ensure the validity of the grading system and to maintain a high standard of academic excellence. The principal violations of academic honesty are cheating and plagiarism.

Cheating includes the unauthorized use of certain materials, information, or devices in writing examinations, or in preparing papers or other assignments. Any student who aids another student in such dishonesty is also guilty of cheating. Other possible forms of cheating include submitting the same work in more than one class without permission, and fabricating or altering references or actual research results.



Plagiarism is the presentation of ideas, words, and opinions of someone else as one’s own work. The offense does not extend solely to directly quoted materials presented without documentation. Paraphrased material, even if rendered in the student’s own words, must be attributed to the originator of the thought. Furthermore, if the student adopts a line of reasoning or a point of view adopted or derived from the work of another, such adoption or derivation must also be properly acknowledged. (pp. 44-45)

In this course, you will be working with the words, ideas, and works of others quite often. Part of that work will be learning how to correctly credit the originators of the works you use. However, if you ever have a question about how to properly use these works, please ask the instructor or make an appointment with the Writing Center.


Instances of academic dishonesty will be dealt with following the policies and procedures laid out on page 45 of the Undergraduate Catalog.


Technology Use


As part of your work in this course, you will be expected to use technologies in conducting research and producing writing. Also, information about assignments, deadlines, and other course information will be disseminated through the course Web site.


Throughout the course, you will be expected to:

  • Check the course Web site at least twice a week for information about course projects, deadlines, and other course information.
  • Use e-mail and other forms of online communication to communicate with the instructor and your classmates when necessary.
  • Use various types of software, including word processors, page design software, and presentation design software to complete course projects.
  • Be willing to get help from the instructor or other campus resources to use technologies for course projects and other coursework.
  • Pay attention to standards for written English when using computers for communication. This includes using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation in all communications to your instructor and classmates as well as avoiding netspeak-based substitutions such as “u” for “you.”
  • Use technologies respectfully and appropriately. This includes complying with Niagara’s Acceptable Use Policies for use of computers and Internet service as explained in the Student Technology Handbook, and also being respectful of the instructor and your fellow classmates.
