Grammar and Composition

This course is designed for graduate students who demonstrate a need for formal grammar instruction by a writing score on the CELT of below 85.  The course will focus on such essential aspects of academic writing as assessing audience and purpose, organizing material according to levels of specificity, constructing a well-formed definition, writing a problem-solution paper, data-commentary, summary, and critique.  Grammar instruction will focus on the structures that apply to these particular assignments.
