We use writing to send emails, type messages, write essays, build resumes, and tell stories. Writing is a crucial form of communication, but it can feel hard sometimes. In this course, students will explore different strategies to plan, organize, and polish writing samples, and they will have the opportunity to dissect their own writing at each stage of the process. Whether the task is an essay for school or a resume for a job application, this course will help you to produce writing you are proud of.

Preparing for, and Improving, College Composition and ReadingDespite advances in AI and other technologies, the core practice of excelling in college remains reading comprehension and essay writing. While these tools can act as a band-aid, they do not help students with foundational learning skills overall.
With five years of experience in teaching college composition, I am aware of the gaps between high school and college literacy with which many students enter. My course will focus on filling such gaps to improve prospective and current students' overall reading and writing skills to aid in textbook comprehension and essay writing for any class they may attend.
In attending my course, you will practice:
- 1:1 help with essay edits and writing
- Reading and critical engagement with excerpts from typical college material
- Short writing drills to improve overall writing towards a college level
- Line editing and peer review

All this by combining theory and practice: Writing work from exercises then as part of a personal project.
