This course is designed to cover the essentials of grammar for people who write reports, proposals, memos, letters, or essays. If you're not sure when to use a comma, semicolon, or colon or if you need a refresher in using pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs correctly, this class is for you. Class sessions will include an informal lecture and discussion, examples and strategies, hands-on exercises and activities, and suggestions to help you improve your writing assignments. To apply what you learn to your own writing, you'll write a one-page letter or essay for each class. Limited to 16.
