Week 9 Assignment And Discussion

Professional Experience Five

Due at the end of week 9 (not eligible for late policy unless an approved, documented exception is provided)

*In the workplace, incomplete work
is not accepted. The professional experience assignments are designed to
help prepare you for that environment. To earn credit, make sure you
complete all elements and follow the directions exactly as written. This
is a pass/fail assignment, so no partial credit is possible.
Assignments that follow directions as written will be scored at a 22.
Assignments that are incomplete or do not follow directions will be
scored as a zero.

Your Professional Experience
assignment is to develop a promotional message. This can be an email,
letter, info graphic, image, or any other relevant material that answers
why should students take a Professional Communications course.

Steps to Complete Professional Experience Five:

Step one: Follow the link in the “Link to OneDrive” section above. The link will take you to a OneDrive folder titled Week 9.

Step two: Develop a promotional
message that is no more than one page to explain why students should
take a professional communications course.

Step three: Save your file to your desktop, using the following file name format: Your_Name_Wk9_Promotion.

  • Example: Ed_Buchanan_Wk9_Promotion

Step four: Choose the “Upload”
option from the OneDrive webpage to upload your completed promotional
message to the “Week 9” folder

Step five: Submit your completed
message for your instructor’s review using the Professional Experience
#5 link in the Week 9 tab in Blackboard.

In order to receive your points for completing this task, you must do the following:

  • Ensure your message is no more than one page
  • Upload your message to the WK 9 folder in OneDrive
  • Provide an effective answer to the question of why students should take a professional communication’s class
  • Submit the file to Blackboard using the Professional Experience #5 link in the week 9 tab in Blackboard
