Course Description

Organized around a menu of ten genres, this online writing course can be tailored to individual interests. Students select five modules, ranging from the business memorandum to the literary review. Complementing the modules is a mandatory Grammar and Mechanics assessment.

How This Course Works

Modular writing is designed to let you, the student, decide what kinds of writing you want to do based on your interests and academic program. The course tries to be as broad and inclusive as possible. The course offers you ten modules from which to choose. *You are required to submit the grammar module, plus either Module 1 or 2 and up to four additional modules. The total value must be equal to 100%*. See the Evaluation page.

*Note that the compulsory grammar module is pass/fail; however, failure of the grammar test will result in an incomplete in the course. If you fail the test, you will be asked to re-write the test after meeting with the course instructor.
