Final Exam Week!

During the Fall 2023 semester I continued learning in in the Business Associates course at Gateway Technical College. One of the courses I took this semester and why I created this blog was for business communications class. I was eager to embark on this educational journey that promised to equip me with the essential skills for a successful professional career. As the semester unfolded, I discovered that the course had a strong focus on writing and communicating, and I soon realized the importance of proper etiquette in the world of corporate interactions. Our class was fortunate to have an excellent instructor who guided us through the intricacies of effective communication in a professional setting. One of the highlights of the course was the emphasis on practical learning. I vividly remember a particular assignment that stood out to me—the opportunity to apply what we learned in the textbook directly. The assignments were thoughtfully designed to simulate real-world scenarios, and the textbook served as a valuable platform for honing my skills. It wasn't just about memorizing anything; it was about understanding how to practically implement professional writing skills. The structure of the course was another aspect that greatly contributed to its success. Each module seamlessly built upon the previous one, creating a logical progression of learning. From mastering the basics of business writing to understanding the nuances of email etiquette, the course provided a comprehensive foundation. One of the key takeaways was the emphasis on professionalism. Whether it was crafting a formal email or composing a business report, the course instilled in me the importance of presenting myself and my ideas in a polished and business-appropriate manner. These skills, I realized, were not only crucial for academic success but also indispensable for the professional world awaiting me. The Business Associates course at Gateway Technical College truly set students up for success in pursuing a professional career. As the semester came to a close, I felt a sense of accomplishment and newfound confidence in my ability to navigate the complex landscape of business communication. The lessons learned in that class continue to shape my approach to communication, ensuring that I am well-prepared for the challenges that lie ahead in my professional journey.

I really enjoyed the couple of FlipGrid activities that we did as a class as well as those were more interactive!

One of the sites I highly recommend to future classes creating a brochure or infographic that wasn't advertised in class is https://infograph.venngage.com very easy to use website to create these projects too.

Happy Winter Break time!!! 😀🎄🎅
