In this course we will develop skills for college writing as well as for writing beyond the academy, as in writing for your future, successful careers. Our learning will come from a variety of sources, including our writing projects, our readings, and of course, from each other.
We will read works from a diverse range of authors that will touch upon a diverse range of topics. Using these readings, we will not only focus on the content of the material, we will study how the content is formatted and styled. We will also focus heavily on the proofreading, editing, and revision process, to ultimately create substantial, consistent, and aesthetically pleasing documents.
This is a face-to-face course. Main assignments will include at least three essays, which you will revise using feedback from myself and your peers.
