Abstract

College graduates need good communication skills to be successful knowledge workers. Writing across the curriculum (WAC) programs help faculty use writing as a learning tool and teach students business writing as an iterative process. WAC concepts were incorporated into an undergraduate real estate investment course using in-class exercises and a staged, formal report. The experience demonstrated the usefulness of writing exercises. It also showed that students’ bad writing habits are hard to break and that the staged report must be carefully crafted to serve its purpose to help students learn course content while practicing to be effective business communicators.
