This is the sixth edition of an excellent textbook that explains business writing concepts clearly and concisely. Every lesson will have direct references to reading and/or experiential exercises in this book.

Even though this textbook  provides specific guidance for grammar, punctuation and style, it would be a good investment for you to own a business writer’s handbook. There are several versions available at most book stores.  I've made good use of mine at various times in my business career.

Since you will be required to present two oral presentations that you will send to me on videotape, you will need a VHS videotape. Many students own a video camera, but others will borrow or rent a video camera and tripod for the actual taping process.
