This course is designed for people who want to get a better feel for grammar so that they can strengthen their writing skills. Many times a person will not met you face-to-face. Perhaps her or she will only know you through your words.
You may have sent a cover letter and resume for a job. You may have written a memo recommending a new product or procedure and your letter was passed up the corporate chain. Perhaps you wrote a letter to the local chief of police complaining about the traffic on your strew. Your words are your "calling card" in many situations. As such, it is important that they present you in the best light possible. Having a better understanding of grammar and how its pieces fit together can really help you.
The coursework in Part One focuses on the basics of grammar: parts of speech and sentence structure. These the building blocks with which written communication is constructed. Students will get to test their understanding through self-quiz exercises and through exercises provided by the instructor. A self-test at the end of the course will allow students to evaluate their learning.
