Description | Syllabi

The first two sessions of this course cover basic principles of memo writing. The third and fourth sessions review grammar and punctuation rules such as subject/verb agreement, punctuation, and run-on sentences. The final two sessions will be devoted to a review of stylistic aspects of writing, such as writing concisely and clearly, avoiding cliches and redundancy, varying word choice, and outlining and organizing ideas. Students will bring in papers they have written and will be guided through the editing process.
