CEEL 0938 - So You Think You Can Write: The Mechanics of English Grammar

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Have you ever found yourself not quite sure whether you need a comma in the sentence you’re writing? Proper grammar is essential for writing confidently and effectively. This course is designed to enhance students’ knowledge of the nuts and bolts of the English language—how to put together correct sentences and punctuate them with finesse. Each lesson will focus on a particular trouble spot in English grammar, such as pronouns or commas. Throughout the course, students will craft several short compositions, which will serve as springboards for improving grammar in their own written work. Students will also develop their verbal communication skills by presenting elements of syntax to the class. Assessments will require students to identify and correct grammatical errors in texts provided to them.
