This document outlines the curriculum for a course on fundamentals of business communication. It is divided into three terms that cover various topics through in-session facilitation, workshops, assignments, and use of technology. Term 1 focuses on introduction to communication principles, research writing skills, and developing video and blog content. Term 2 builds on articulation skills through business report writing, case presentations, and infographic creation. Term 3 hones report writing abilities through workshops on writing CIP reports, thesis critiques, and group projects utilizing the GIS methodology.
