To Spring 2009 students

This class should be an enjoyable one. It is easy to be successful. You should always be paying attention not only for the class but many of the things you will learn, you will most likely need to use in your future. For example, you will all have to write resumes at some point as well as cover letters. This class is an extremely useful one. The assignments are not difficult but still warrant a good effort for you to prepare yourself for the business world.

The client project will most likely be the biggest challenge that you face in this class. Teamwork and good communication are the two most important factors in being successful with the project. You will need to work well with your team and know how to work together to come up with a collective project that displays the best from all of you. Communication with your client will also be important. The project is designed for their needs, therefore you should constantly email, call, etc. to get important details and get a good idea of what they want. If you can accomplish those two things, you should be set.

Blogs will be very simple. That basically just requires that you put in a decent effort and get in your assignment on time. It's very simple to create and there is not much more advice that I can give. The portfolios are another thing that you can use again in your future business life. You can create a simple website or organize your collective works on blackboard. For those of you graduating in 2010 or later, you will need to know that to graduate anyway. To make the most of the class you really just need to put in a good effort, show up to class, and pay attention. None of this should come boring to you because you will most likely use most or all of it in your future. Good luck
