BCP Project Overview<\/h3>\n

Correspondence is the foundation of business communication. In careers across the disciplines, correspondence such as memos, emails, and letters make up the majority of documents professionals produce during their employment. In class and in course material, you will learn about contexts\/purposes for writing (positive\/neutral\/information, negative, and persuasive), short correspondence genres (memos, emails, and letters), and strategies for communicating effectively within them.<\/p>\n

The Business Correspondence Project (BCP) will ask each student to plan for and write correspondence in response to a positive\/neutral\/informational scenario and a negative scenario (time permitting, a persuasive scenario). \u00a0The particular scenarios each student will write to will be determined by their character. Summer 2025 character assignments are available on Canvas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BCP Characters<\/h4>\n

For the BCP, each student will be assigned a character. The character\u2014Michael, Dwight, Jim, or Pam\u2014will determine the particular positive\/neutral\/informational, negative, and persuasive contexts each student will write within for the BCP.<\/p>\n

For the BCP, each student will have a character\u2014please see BCP Character Assignments & Scenario Links (on Canvas \"\") for character assignments (11am section<\/a> & 2pm section<\/a>). Your character\u2014Michael, Dwight, Jim, or Pam*\u2014will determine the particular positive\/neutral\/informational, negative, and persuasive contexts you will write within for the BCP.<\/div>\n

*To be clear, you should NOT<\/em> write as<\/em> a character from The Office<\/em>. In other words, don’t pretend you are Michael, or Pam, or whomever\u2014the characters are just a way to assign different contexts to different people.<\/p>\n
