Explaining Grammar to Writers

(1.5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Do you love the nuts and bolts of writing? Are you the kind of reader who can sense when something is off in a sentence and knows how to fix it, but struggles to explain why the fix works? This course will develop the metalinguistic knowledge you need to discuss sentence-level choices clearly and confidently, whether you are an advanced writer, a writing tutor, or a graduate instructor. The focus is not on correcting errors but on understanding how sentences work, so you can help other writers understand it too. This is not a remedial grammar course.
