Future Business Writing Students

I thoroughly enjoyed this class!!
After taking this class I feel better prepared to face the challenges that may come after college, ie. finding a job. I have always been good at doing homework and little projects for school, so I did not have a hard time keeping up with the daily grades and blog postings. I find that it is much easier to do things as soon as you get the assignment. Get the little things out of the way, so that you don't have to worry about them the rest of the week or risk forgetting about them totally.
I haven't ever done anything similar to our client project, so it was a new experience for me. I must say that having a good group makes a world of difference. Make sure that you get along with your group members and that all "jobs" can be divided up within the group. For example, do not get into a group of people who are all quiet organizers, none of you will want to talk with the client or be the spokesperson. Get in a group of people who all have different strengths.
Take each project seriously! You are going to use your resume later in life! You are going to need to turn in your portfolio before you graduate! Take advantage of the help that Mrs. Rogers is willing to give you! See knows what she is talking about!
