ENG 374 - Editing Essentials

Focuses on editing writing at three levels: for correctness (grammar and punctuation); for precision (unity, order, coherence, emphasis, language); and for style (syntax, levels of detail, tone, diction, voice). Students will perform close analysis of surface features of their own and professional writing, and they will complete exercises designed to strengthen their ability to edit writing at the three levels mentioned above. This course is especially appropriate for students preparing to be teachers or engage in any profession that requires writing. Prerequisite(s): ENG 140.
