This relaxed, interactive class will help you learn to write clearly, concisely and persuasively. Whether your interest is in creative, business, legal or scientific writing, you need the ability to craft effective sentences and paragraphs, the building blocks of all good writing. You will write focused paragraphs, receive written constructive criticism from the instructor and then rewrite them. In the process, you will learn to construct a coherent paragraph with a strong topic sentence. You also will learn to edit your writing to reduce wordiness, imprecision, common punctuation errors and weak verb choices.
