Some people think grammar is boring.
I can't imagine why. Yet English 402 is a very practical class, aimed at helping pre-service teachers to see grammar and style in their own writing and their students' writing. Ultimately 402 should help a new teacher make informed decisions about how, when and why to help their writing students internalize the conventions of writing. We'll look at these issues by focusing on crisis points in the evolution of writing, starting with ancient Greece, moving to the printing press, and ending up with the Internet. English 410 is part of the new major in Professional Writing at Cortland, offered in association with the major in English.
