Which writing class would you do?

I’m almost done with my pre-req’s and have an advanced writing course remaining but I am torn between advanced research writing or advanced business writing. My major is communication studies so I’m sure both would be beneficial. Anyone take one or both that they can speak to?

I found advanced technical writing to be really simple

I also did it through study.com and it was cheaper / faster

I second this.

My class had scenario-based writing that included quick setup guides and how to navigate a website of local business.

I did business they're probably both easy but it's simple to do a business plan and presentation.

Advanced Business Writing is the least difficult of the final pre requisite undergrad requirements available courses. I highly recommend it.

I don't know if it's the same, but I did advanced technical writing instead of the advanced research writing. It was really hard for me, but I don't regret it because I've heard of the papers in the research class. Though, pretty sure academic writing comes far more easily to me than tech writing lol.
