Good Luck!

So...now you're taking ENGL 304, Business Writing. I bet you're hoping for an easy A, right? Just do what Angie aks you to do, and you'll be fine. Remember to blog. That's an important one. And don't forget to complete the daily grade assignments. They really will help you in the long run. You do plan to work at some point in your life. Put your resume together in Angie's class and you won't have to worry about it when graduation and entering the work force become realities.

The most important thing in this class is finding a good group. You will work with these people for the entire semester, and meeting with people you actually like will make the client-based project a lot more enjoyable. I have a great group and overcoming the obstacles we've faced would have been impossible if I were working with more difficult people. When choosing your group, Angie will ask you to interview your classmates. Ask the important questions!!! I don't think you understand how important this is, especially if you're designing a Web site. Do people know how to write code? Is there an individual who is especially interested in graphics? Don't just ask your classmates what year they are and what there major is--that won't matter when you're working to finish your proposal.

Just enjoy the class. You most likely only have a few more semesters of college to go, and in the grand scheme of things, ENGL 304 is one of the few classes you will use in the future. Most of all, be thankful you have Angie as your professor. She is a really great person and will work with you if you run into any unexpected problems.
