" I benefited from the Business Writing course because it gave me a good revision and reminded me of certain writing etiquette that must be used at all times. Assignments helped me understand that written communication should not be taken for granted. People read only what they want to, hence being crisp, concise and contemporary is the need ofthe hour. Only selling makes money, rest al
l costs money. Good written communication skills are an important tool to
achieve that goal."

Robert Gibbs, Banker.

" The course has helped me with my letter writing. It helped me frame my sentences and the most important thing I learnt is that I should give my opinion while writing. So it has boosted my confidence a lot in writing. My grammar and framing of sentences has improved. I have lessened writing general things and have started writing my opinions. I want to pursue management studies so writing skills are very important. In general also, at work, writing becomes useful specially emails and letters. I have to write essays for many exams also. Presently I am working as an engineer so writing skills become important for writing emails, letters, presentations and reports. "

Deblina D. Banerjee, Engineer.

" I plan to take up an MBA in Finance. I would have to do a lot of written work as in reviews etc. So writing with a difference will help, also when it comes to business letters or applications. Now, writing has become easier and enabled me to write in a way that hooks the reader. This course helped me narrow down my thoughts, attaching many ideas to one concept, and conveying one message. "

Sankkash S. Chhabria, Student.

" I feel a lot more confident about writing anything. A big part of the course was about unlearning. My confidence levels increased even more after the practice through assignments. Earlier I had to check my letters and emails at least five times before sending them out. Now I am more confident about my formal writing as well. Written communication skills are important in every field. We cannot escape writing articles and letters. "

Tahmeed A. Contractor, Doctor.

" The Essay Writing course helped me clear some fundamentals of writing and grammar. I came to know that a simple style is the best style. Class assignments helped me identify my errors. Now I understand how to write the more important aspects in my proposals and the importance of sending well written emails. We write to convey something to the reader. If it is not understood by the reader then there is no meaning in the written work. Any writing must fulfill its intended purpose. Written communication is very important to me as I work in a critical department in which a lot of our work depends on the written word. Without good written communication skills one cannot do justice to his or her job. "

N.N. Rao, Brand Manager.

" The Essay Writing course helped me refresh my writing skills and also get feedback on my writing. By profession, I am a writer and hence it is very important for me to have good writing skills.

Meena Barot, Interior Designer.

" Being an MSc student I have to deal with research papers where formal writing is a must. This course helped me eliminate slang, improved my basic understanding of how and what to write and taught me how to keep my writing crisp and simple so that I could convey information effectively. Interactions with the instructor helped me get a clear idea about writing in English. I learnt what my mistakes were and my doubts were cleared. "

" I benefited from this course by learning how to analyse things. I got the confidence to write on different topics. I got to know my mistakes. The instructor’s feedback and comments really motivated me to write well. The assignments helped me think clearly for the first time. I wrote essays that were completely my own. I wrote in a way that was different from the formatted writing taught to us in school. I wanted to improve my written communication skills because today good writing is important for everything and everywhere. I am entering college so this helped me prepare for future presentations and research reports. "

Chaitali Chinoy, Student

" Through the Grammar Intensive course a lot of my queries about grammar norms were solved. The course helped me narrow down my thoughts.

" Through this course I learnt new styles of writing to make my articles more interesting to the reader.

It was important for me to develop better written communication skills for daily communication, future application letters and SAT essays. "

Saloni Mehrotra, Student.

" The course helped make my writing more concise. I needed to improve my written skills for the IB course’s extended essay. In any case good writing skills are universally important for everything. "

Anvi H. Shah, Student.

" The course improved my writing style. It brought individuality into my writing style. Since I am joining an IB course it was necessary for me to change the old style of writing. I am a student, hence writing and communicating well is essential for academics (research papers, essays, etc)."
