Writing Fundamentals

Course Description 

This is not a book club course, it will be focusing on writing. As requested, many students are falling behind due to two years of online learning. Good writing fundamentals are not taught well. This is a course that helps go over how to write--starting with the basics. It is designed for anyone who wants to brush up on their writing. In class, there will be multiple peer editing exercises so they are able to see examples from each other--what to do, and what NOT to do.
