Course Description
Online Academic Writing I is the first in a four-course sequence that allows students to apply their understanding of English grammar as they develop their writing skills. This interactive course is divided into 4 modules, each containing 4 units. For each unit, there will be an animated lesson with direct, online instruction in writing skills such as paragraph and sentence structure, punctuation and capitalization rules, and use of specific examples. For each unit’s lesson, students will apply their understanding of the newly presented skills by completing interactive, automatically graded activities. They will also interact with their instructor and classmates in unit discussion board posts. Each module will have a longer writing assignment in which students focus on the writing process, getting direct feedback from their instructor and classmates along the way. Key vocabulary related to the topic of each unit is also provided.
