Writing911.com’s popular writing workshop, “Writing for the Real World: A Refresher for Busy Professionals,” is being turned into an online writing course (e-course), beginning September 13, 2004.
LEXINGTON, NC (PRWEB) August 23, 2004 -- Writing911.com is now offering its
popular writing workshop, “Writing for the Real World: A Refresher for Busy
Professionals,” as an online course, or e-course. The first e-course will start
September 13, 2004, with classes running through the fall.
The course is
taught in three segments. In Segment One, “Making Your Writing Correct,”
participants will review some of the most common grammar and punctuation errors,
along with other frequently made faux pas, such as using the wrong word (e.g.,
its versus it’s, that versus which). They will also learn the difference between
genuine mistakes and questions of style.
In Segment Two, “Making Your
Writing Concise,” participants will learn to find and repair the weak spots in
their writing. They will also learn how to build a better sentence and get to
the point by rearranging misplaced modifiers, cutting deadwood phrases and
redundancies, and activating verbs.
In Segment Three, “Making Your
Writing Clear,” participants will practice a handful of writing tricks that will
make their writing easier to read, getting their messages across more quickly to
their readers.
“This is a great class for busy professionals who need to
freshen up their writing skills,” says Kivi Leroux Miller, president of
Writing911.com and instructor of the course. “We use a straight-forward,
practical approach that is appropriate for the business and nonprofit worlds.
Students can apply what they are learning right away,” says Miller.
Each
segment is four weeks long and costs $59. The fee for all three segments (the
full course) is $149. Registration includes a weekly lecture, access to a
discussion board, exercises, feedback from the instructor, and a recommended
reading list.
