Description:
This course is dedicated to intensive, advanced work on academic writing.

Students will have the opportunity to analyze their strengths and weaknesses as writers, to develop strategies for editing and polishing, and to enhance their ability to analyze and construct arguments. The course will also deepen students’ understanding of academic writing through sustained attention to achieving clarity of prose, with particular emphasis on editing skills, grammar, syntax, and mechanics. The class will be conducted entirely online, with a sequence of activities and assignments designed to reinforce each concept introduced. This course satisfies the Study of the American English requirement for all K-12 teacher education students (TE 4a), as well as the Writing Intensive requirement (2) and Study of the English Language requirement (TE 5a) for students who entered Montclair State and declared their English major prior to the fall of 2011.
