This subject offers practical training in a key generic skill: the ability to write
in a way that will assist both academic study and later professional life. Emphasis
is on writing for information transfer, communication and persuasion, rather than
on writing for self-expression. Major topics include basic grammar, syntax and punctuation;
analysis and outlining of material; planning, developing and editing work; and practical
application in essays.
Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate a knowledge of correct grammar, syntax and punctuation;
- employ effective writing skills and techniques to different styles of writing;
- practice an audience-centred, reader-oriented approach to writing;
- construct an awareness of interdependence between analytical skills and clear expression;
- integrate key stages (planning, writing, editing) in the writing process.
