Title: WRITING FOR CLARITY AND STYLE

Section: 01

Semester: Fall - 2015

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 work on 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. We will read prescriptive and descriptive texts about mechanics and grammar, research on language practices and the writing process, and both classic and contemporary examples to evaluate for style and clarity.

This is an asynchronous hybrid course, meeting in person on Mondays and online Wednesdays.
