All the Grammar No One Ever Taught You

All the Grammar No One Ever Taught You: A Practical Course for Academic Writers

This fast-paced and entertaining course takes you through the basics of English grammar that trip up academic writers the most. Based on the errors and issues I see most as an editor, I've selected four key themes to focus our lectures and activities:

• Parts of Speech: Functions and Malfunctions
• Sentences and Ideas
• The Dreaded Comma
• Punctuation and Miscellaneous Matters

Each week involves a roughly one-hour lecture with a quick self-check quiz afterward. This course is designed to be appropriate for native and non-native speakers of English alike, and it will accommodate differences between American and British/other forms of English. Each offering of the course is limited to 24 participants. The Friday morning offering is suitable for participants in Europe and Africa as well as those in North America.

Cost: $25 for 4 sessions
Session Options:
Monday, October 7, 14, 21, & 28, 6 PM US Central time
Friday, October 11, 18, 25, and November 1, 8 AM US Central time
