Austin Lococo reflected on what he learned in his final course. He learned about designing web pages, persuasive messages, writing short reports, and social media's growth in business communication. Specifically, an assignment on web page design helped him understand good designs. A short recommendation report helped him learn persuasive writing and formatting reports. A social media discussion helped him see how fast social media is growing for businesses. He wants to improve his social media skills, report writing understanding, and web design knowledge to help his marketing career.
