TOP REVIEWS FROM HIGH-IMPACT BUSINESS WRITING
Sue Robins is an excellent instructor in the art of business writing. She will help you navigate the nuances and best practices behind a good business document
I have held several executive roles throughout my career. This course helped fine tune my writing and has drastically improved my correspondences as well as presentations. Highly recommend.
The course has been very systematically designed to give a complete insight on Business Writing. Congratulations to the whole team involved in putting up such an enriching course.
There seems to be something wrong with the lesson on editing, revising, and proofreading.
In slides 8-10 it seems that the terms for editing and revising were swapped.
