Title: WRITING FOR CLARITY AND STYLE

Section: 01

Semester: Fall - 2014

Credits: 3

Description:
This course is dedicated to intensive, advanced work on academic writing. Students will develop their skills as writers through short writing exercises and more formal essays, through drafting, revision, and peer review, and through editing exercises. We will devote sustained attention to achieving clarity of prose, with particular emphasis on editing skills, grammar, syntax, and mechanics, while also exploring questions of style. Students will have the opportunity to analyze their strengths and weaknesses as writers, to develop strategies for editing and polishing, and to enhance their abilities to recognize stylistic choices. Assigned readings will include a mix of prescriptive and descriptive texts about mechanics, research on language practices and the writing process, and models to evaluate for style and clarity.

This is a synchronous hybrid course, meeting in person on Mondays and online Thursdays.
