We're up and running

I've just made the Module links live, so you can start studying the course now.

You'll notice (from the Course Timetable in the Business Pages section) that you're working on a three week schedule: first a Warm-Up Task; then a Send-In Task; and finally a week off!

I'm going to try to get everyone's Warm-Up Tasks marked and returned in good time for you to write a Send-In Task which builds on what you learned from the Warm-Up Task.

Good luck - and we hope you enjoy the course!

Welcome to the Course

This is the blog for the Business Writing, 8hp course from Linnaeus University in Småland, Sweden. We'll be using the blog firstly as a means of passing messages on from the course team to the students (and vice versa). Secondly, the blog is where you'll post your Warm-Up Tasks (when they're due), and where you'll be able to read my general feedback on how everyone did on the tasks. I won't, however, be identifying anyone by name when I give feedback (you'll receive some more detailed, personal feedback privately as well).

I've just made the first podcast for the course too, which gives you a general idea of how the course works and what you have to do to pass. You can listen to it by clicking on the Podcasts link on the course home page.

We're looking forward to working with you this autumn - and remember that the only *stupid* question is the one you don't ask! So feel free to mail me if you have any questions before the course gets underway.
