Writing Skills: The Basics
If you are an unpracticed writer who lacks self-confidence or a writer whose skills may be a bit rusty, explore both the theory and practice of writing well. Learn to compose clear and concise sentences, develop effective paragraphs, design persuasive openings, arrange facts and ideas logically, increase a piece’s coherence, and edit and proofread written material. Student writing is read and reviewed by the instructor and used as a basis for class discussion. This course may be used to fulfill the requirements of the Certificate in Effective Business Writing.
