This course is designed to help adults improve their reading, writing, proofreading, editing, and revising to prepare for standardized exams. We cover the basics of grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, paragraph development, and will eventually write effective essays with clear ideas, smooth transitions, and logical support. We will practice planning, research, prewriting, and organizing our writing. Learning to proofread for punctuation, usage, content, and support will be emphasized.This is an in-person class with ongoing enrollment through May.
