A Help Forum is included in the course that will be carefully monitored by an online facilitator.

Description

This course is a refresher for English grammar and punctuation intended to review skills that are important for correct writing and speaking. As educators make their writing public in letters home, blog posts, newsletters, or emails, striving for accuracy becomes very important. The course will cover punctuation usage and common grammatical errors. Subject-verb agreement, pronoun agreement, plural and possessive nouns, and commonly confused words are a part of the content as well.
