Students learn to write by writing and revising what they have written .
Many students have problems in a composition class simply because they have completed high school without having done much writing. Writing is a skill, and like all skills, it must be practiced to be perfected. A prime concern of a composition class should be composition . This course will be a writing class and not a grammar class. Although there will be a quick grammar review, and an ongoing study for students with deficient backgrounds, the primary focus will be on developing the skill of writing.
