The Basic Business Grammar Self-study course contains an overview of all of the areas of English usage important to business writers. In this special version of the self-study course, the Business Writing Center keeps a record of the lessons you have finished. We can then report your completion to a supervisor. However, because the course has no instructor contact, you cannot receive a graduation certificate. The course begins with a pre-test to show you how much you know about business grammar at the start of the course. It ends with a post-test to show you how much you have learned. Students normally start with pre-test scores of 30% to 50% and end the course with post-test scores of 85% to 95%.
Each lesson also has a pre-test and post-test to show you that you have learned the skills. The tests are scored immediately so you can see how you did.
Because the self-study courses have no instructor contact, you will not receive a graduation certificate. If you want instructor contact and a graduation certificate, you should enroll in BWC85 Basic Grammar Essentials.
