This week marks the beginning of my "Writing for Public Relations" course, and I have to say it looks like it's going to be fabulous. The homework seems reasonable, I found my textbook online for about $8 through Better World Books and the course content will definitely prove to be helpful in my job. Already, it's helped me to identify some of my big writing weaknesses, including my improper use, or lack of use, of commas and my tendency to write in a passive voice.
I'm also impressed by some of my classmates, including a professional ballet dancer, a publicist for Warner Brothers Music and someone who recently landed a great job with Thornley Fallis Communications. My former classmates include a former national TV reporter, a festival publicist, an airline marketing manager and someone who landed a job in Geneva as a regional director for the World Health Organization at the end of last semester. I think I'm in good company.
The diversity of the students should translate into some great discussions and hopefully some great contacts for all of us.
