Grammar in Public Health

Recently I spoke with Professor X in Public Health. He felt that grammar was most certainly important to careers with in the field. When students leave the University and get jobs there ability to write effectively will no longer only reflect back on them, but on the organization as well. Thus, making it important for them to have a grasp on grammar. Students should know how to compose memos, and documents that are free of mistakes. The classes that he teaches do not involve a lot of written assignments, so there was really no one error that stood out to him. However, he did feel that many students do not take the time to look over their work before handing it in. This was also something that he commonly sees in e-mails. Simple mistakes that could be avoided if students took the time to proof read.
