The key to great writing is great revising. But what if you’re not sure what to look for? Or how to begin? Luckily, you don’t have to be a linguistic scholar to be a competent editor. With just enough grammar and a few easy strategies, you’ll be well on your way to some effective revising—and some great writing—in no time!

“Error-free Writing” will review key grammatical rules, emphasize the importance of developing your own voice as a writer, and provide helpful proof-reading strategies to enable you to identify—and correct—errors and weaknesses in your own writing.

In this course, participants will learn about:

  • Essential punctuation marks
  • Subject-verb agreement
  • Nouns and pronouns
  • Fragments and run-on sentences
  • Active versus passive voice
  • Plurals versus possessives
  • Easy proofreading strategies

This course is ideal for:

  • Any early career professionals who wish to produce grammatically correct, authoritative, and compelling writing.
  • Any mid to late-career professionals interested in a grammar refresher, or in learning a few tips on how to edit their writing for increased clarity and effectiveness.
