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.
