IW 310 - Online Academic Writing III0 lecture hours 0 lab hours 0 credits
Course Description
Online Academic Writing III is the third 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 3 modules, each containing 5 units. For each unit, there will be an animated lesson with direct, online instruction in key vocabulary and writing skills such as writing and sentence and paragraph structure, features of good writing, and coherence. 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. Unit and module tests will also be used to assess students’ understanding of the course concepts. (prereq: none)
