ENC4212-0001 Spring 2025 - Howell

This course will help you to take your editing skills to the next level, explicitly focusing on the work of improving another's writing. It seeks to develop the skills of synthesizing another's ideas and data, structuring and clarifying his or her argument, and ordering coherently any multi-part exposition. It is primarily practical in orientation, covering proofreading, grammar, spelling, fact checking, and line-editing. It is quite a demanding course, both in study time and in emotional resilience, as it requires everyone to honestly confront and work to correct their own weaknesses in English language knowledge.
