TOP REVIEWS FROM HIGH-IMPACT BUSINESS WRITING
As a business professional looking to expand my knowledge base, I found this course helpful and would recommend it to anyone who interacts with company customers and management.
The course has clearly helped me to improve my writing. Be it at work or for personal purposes, this course has proved to be really helpful. Thank you, University of California, Irvine!
A simplified course that targets areas of business writing which most of us tend to oversee. In this era of digitalisation and information overload, this back to basics method was really refreshing.
Great course with lots of valuable tips, not only for business writing but also for learning how to deal with arguments & confrontation in the workplace. Highly recommended.
