If you are an undergraduate and have accepted a career-related internship or co-op over the summer, consider taking ENG 398 SW: Success in the Workplace. This online course will be offered during Summer 2008 and provides 2 hours of credit.

ENG 398 is a guided experiential learning course designed to prepare you for a successful transition from campus to the workplace. Lecture topics covered include basic business concepts and insights related to interpersonal and communication skills. Over the course of the summer, you will complete a project that will lead you to develop the skills that are covered in the course lectures.

Each week, students view streaming video lectures and submit a written assignment. Grades will be determined by answers to questions based on the lectures (50%) and evaluation of the written project assignments (50%).
