Course Overview

Business and academic writing gained prominence over the years because they helped businesses build credibility and trust among people. However, many fail to realize that they should learn business writing because its nuances are very different from regular writing. Therefore, the Academic and Business Writing online course will immensely help management students or professionals bring more credibility to their organisations’ roles.

The Academic and Business Writing certification syllabus covers numerous topics like writing styles, grammatical correctness, tone, development of vocabulary, diction, and editing skills. The course is highly engaging and is equipped with many writing assignments for candidates to practice, learn, and improve.

Offered by the prominent Berkeley University of California, the Academic and Business Writing course by edX is taught by Maggie Sokolik. This training curriculum is also equipped with reading materials and video lectures given to candidates from time to time, besides their weekly quizzes, journal entry writing, and long essay assignments.
