College Prep English
with Emily Nash
This course is designed to help adults improve their writing, proofreading, editing, and revising to prepare for the general expectations of college English and college writing. We will cover the basics of grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, paragraph development, and will eventually write effective essays with clear ideas, smooth transitions, and logical support. We will practice planning, research, prewriting, and organizing our writing. We will learn to write different types of essays, to properly format them, to cite sources, and to avoid plagiarism. Learning to proofread for punctuation, usage, content, and support will be emphasized. This is an in-person class with asynchronous work on Schoology, a learning management platform.
