This course introduces a range of strategies for identifying and addressing issues related to organization, syntax, style, usage, and grammar. Students apply these strategies to texts that they have already written or are currently working on (e.g. research paper, thesis, dissertation chapter). By the end of this course, students will have more awareness of the choices writers make as they work at the paragraph, sentence, and word level to communicate clearly to readers.
