ENC 4404 Fall 2018 Howell

This class strives to help you to improve your writing and editing skills across a wide range of writing situations and media. We do this through somewhat unusual writing assignments that will challenge your control of voice, tone, and content. This class will help you to get better at putting your writerly ideas into practice. Work in the class involves at least three major, multi-step, multi-week projects across a variety of media, plus frequent writing and editing exercises. We work on understanding audience and on controlling tone and language to maximize your writing effectiveness. To benefit maximally from this class, you should be ready and willing to look at writing, including your own, as a learnable skill improvable with practice.
