Students participate in a series of activities that require application of grammar and punctuation rules as they are introduced. Students are expected to write and post sentences in which they apply the rules presented in each module. They also critique writing samples and the writings of other students, pointing out any errors or unclear statements, and suggesting alternative structure or wording. Online discussion of the writing samples facilitates understanding of the concepts. Quizzes for each module test student understanding of the basic concepts presented in the module.
Results appear online immediately to assist students in identifying areas requiring further study.
The final project is an online posting in which the student evaluates his or her progress in the course, describes the tools and resources found to be most helpful, and outlines a personal plan for continued skill development.
