About Business Communication (FOU105)


UNIT OVERVIEW

Business communications is an extremely practical subject. You will find the material we study often
relates to situations you have already experienced, enhancing your appreciation of these
experiences, and helping you understand the principles of communication and how it is practiced in
the business environment. This course provides you with a mix of principles to analyze business
communication, and practical tools to improve your communication skills. It also develops your
formal skills in writing business reports, letters and email, and spoken word presentations. The way
we understand communication affects our ability to reflect on and improve our own communication
practices.

The course is delivered in two parallel tracks: Business Communication Principles and Skills Practice
and Business Communication in Application.

● Main Lecturer will be in charge of Business Communication Principles and Skills Practice with 10
sessions.
● Associate Lecturer will be in charge of Business Communication in Application with 5 sessions.

The course designs based on six (6) modules:

Module 1 (ULO 1) introduces you to distinct communication theories. Practical exercises encourage
you to consider how these theories apply to business situations. The module also covers the
complexity of communication in business, including how we use tone, expression and language.

Module 2 (ULO 2) challenges you to consider how your own perspectives, culture and external
influences shape the way we communicate with others. We will also introduce non-verbal
communication, how we send and receive vast amounts of information, without having to say a word.

We switch from the personal to the interpersonal in Module 3 (ULO 3), focusing on two of the most
common communication practices for individuals in business, listening and having formal discussions.

Page | 1
FOU105 BUSINESS COMMUNICATION
TRIMESTER 1 2022-2023

You will be asked to reflect on your own practices, and be given the opportunity to analyze case
studies.

These listening and interview skills will serve you well in Module 4 (ULOs 3, 4, 5), where we focus
specifically on teams and meetings. We will consider the different roles we play in groups, common
experiences of teams, and how to effectively contribute to our teams, regardless of whether or not
we have a formal leadership role. You will be asked to identify your strengths and areas of
improvement in group work. You will also be asked to fulfil practical roles in business meetings, and
recognize the ways different skill sets contribute to the smooth functioning of a team, before putting
your knowledge and skills to the test.

Models, guidelines, and advice on formal business communication are covered from a practical
perspective in Module 5 (ULOs 3, 4, 5). How should emails be written in a business context? What
strategies can we use to make our presentations engaging and more memorable? How do we
produce business reports that our audiences appreciate? And how do we make sure our ideas are
understood?

Use the principles and skills you practiced in the previous five modules in Module 6 (ULOs 3, 4) as it
guides you through the process of job hunting, from job researching to writing effective application
letter, curriculum vitae and managing the interview process. Two essential skills for job hunting –
building a personal brand and networking – are also introduced and practiced maximizing your future
employability.

As you work through this course, we encourage you to share your real-life communication
experiences with other students, to extend your knowledge.

Welcome to the fascinating world of business communications. We look forward to making the
journey with you.

The mechanics of student papers and work will be evaluated, as well as the content.

Submission
Assignment cover sheet
▪ All assignments are required to be submitted with an Assignment Cover Sheet.
▪ Group assignments are to be submitted with a Group Assignment Cover Sheet as well as a Peer Evaluation
Form depending on the request of unit instructor.

Non-contributing team members can sometimes be an issue with group-work structured assessment.

particular student’s contribution to group work assignments, as reflected in submissions of the
evaluation form.
Note:
▪ Assignment cover sheets and the evaluation form can be located on MyISB system
▪ Students are advised to keep a copy of all assignments submitted for marking.

Submission style

date.

Late assignment and make-up policy


No late assignments will be accepted unless prior authorization granted by the Academic Department
based on a Special Consideration Application for assessment task extension.
Students must complete all assessments on the assigned dates including quizzes, mid-term test, and
final exam. If there are extenuating or unforeseen circumstances, students must follow the school’s
policies and procedures accordingly.

Attendance
Students are required to attend a minimum of 80% of all classes (which normally 12/15 sessions).
Other cases equating to an absence:
▪ Arriving to class late by 15 minutes at the beginning,
▪ Arriving late by 5 minutes after the break
▪ Leaving prior to the scheduled end time without the permission of the lecturer

If you are unable to attend any session, please let your lecturer know AND submit a request for

Email etiquette
Your lecturers receive many emails each day. In order to enable them to respond to your emails
appropriately and in a timely fashion, students are asked to follow basic requirements of professional

Students should also allow 3-4 working days for a response before following up. If the matter is
legitimately urgent, you may indicate “URGENT” in the email subject header.
Make an appointment: If your email request is complex and requires a lengthy response, it may be
probably best to make an appointment with your lecturer/instructor to meet in person.

fellow students at all times. Behavior that is disruptive to a positive learning environment reported
to the teacher will result in a warning on the first instance; the second instance might result in a
failing grade along with expulsion from the school.

▪ Cheating on an exam
▪ Collaborating with others on work to be presented, if contrary to the stated rules of the course
▪ Submitting, if contrary to the rules of the course, work previously submitted in another course

in an arrangement whereby work, classroom performance, examination, or other activity is submitted
or performed by a person other than the student under whose name the work is submitted or
performed
▪ Plagiarizing

IMPORTANT:
▪ First violation will result in a grade ZERO (0%) for that assignment.
▪ Second violation will result in a failing course grade.
