Pattow, Donald and William Wresch. Communicating Technical Information . Allyn and Bacon. Because we have both a university and a community college in our area, our community offers quite a large choice of writing classes, both formal and informal. Many of these classes are offered each semester, some in summer schools as well.
Students read poetry and prose, write, and get feedback from students and teacher in workshops.
Some students retake the class again and again to keep working on their writing and to keep the same workshop group. Students practice the fundamentals of writing, including paragraph and essay development, sentence structure, punctuation, and grammar. In this course, students critically read essays in different fields and write summaries and analyses, using standard English usage, grammar, and punctuation. This course is for those who already know how to write fairly well and want to polish their non-fiction writing. By the end of this course, you should have a publishable essay.
