Rationale for Writing Intensive - The Writing Intensive communication activities woven into this course's activities will give you practical experiences that apply and reinforce the written and oral communication tools you'll need as a business professional for active, ethical participation in the global community. You will communicate through individual written and oral presentations on business ethics and corporate social responsibility case studies. Additionally, you will work on a case study report, a team project, and will keep a journal which lets you review and reflect on the readings, cases, and daily experiences that mirror (and occasionally) contradict what the course covers. Through staged written assignments in the project, you'll demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply and communicate what you have learned in this class as well as in other management courses in terms of human resource management and leadership.
