communication professionalism business etiquetteCurrently there is a module in COOP 290 related to workplace expectations which analyzes themes such as professionalism, workplace bullying, and office etiquette. This project would focus on supplementing that material with a communications module which would provide more specific content for students to assist with the transition to the professional workplace.
A primary focus would be on communication including:
· What to expect on your first day, week, term
· Communication styles
· Setting communication expectations with your supervisor
· Collaborating with teams
· Professional e-mail correspondence
I will collaborate with the student to choose the focus the material and discuss what type of material will be most appropriate. We will meet regularly to discuss progress and brainstorm.
