What COM/295 is really about

Business writing succeeds when a busy reader understands the point and knows what to do next. COM/295 covers emails, memos, letters and reports, choosing between written, spoken and digital channels, organizing routine, persuasive and bad-news messages and adapting tone for readers from other cultures.

Students commonly analyze a set of business documents, rewrite a message for a new audience, choose and justify a channel, draft a persuasive message and a bad-news message, write social media guidance and assess a cross-cultural communication problem.

What COM/295’s assessments ask for

Instructors look for clear purpose statements, organization that fits the message type, a professional tone and formatting that helps the reader scan. Explanations of channel choice should refer to audience, urgency and the need for a record.

Where students lose points in COM/295

Students lose points when messages bury the main point, when bad news is delivered without reasons or alternatives or when tone is too casual. Treating other cultures as stereotypes is another weak spot. Proofread closely, because spelling and grammar errors undercut an otherwise sound message, and check that every document ends with a clear next step, a contact and a date where one applies.

COM/295 questions, answered

What is the direct approach in business writing?

Stating the main point or request first, then giving details, used for routine and good-news messages.

How should bad news be delivered?

With a neutral opening, reasons, the decision stated clearly, any alternatives and a courteous close.

When is email the wrong channel?

When the message is sensitive, complex or likely to need discussion, a call or meeting often works better.
