This class offered at least 3 easy to remember concepts: 1) quantative words highlight pertinent data, 2) conciseness is the Golden Rule of Grammar, 3) when it comes to attention to details, typos are turn offs! Bonus: Write in bite size chunks to make it easier for the reader to digest and comprehend the author's purpose. This course is valuable and easy to apply!

The webinar was great, however the course glitched several times when I paused the presentation to read material in the handout or to answer the review questions. I suggest that there are places to pause to answer the review questions if the intention is to answer them while watching the presentation.
