Learn to write academic essays, research essays, and college admissions and scholarship essays in a few easy steps
For many writers, the first sentence of an essay is very intimidating. This course guides you through planning and writing your essays. It offers practical, easy-to-follow instructions that help you overcome anxiety and self-doubt.
It begins with a quick overview of the ‘sentence’ and more common mistakes writers make with them. A popular writing prompt, ‘What is your favorite food and why do you like it,’ is used to take learners from the outline stage of essay writing to first draft of a five-paragraph, five-sentence essay.
This course also introduces writers to the research essay. Just the name, ‘research essay,’ may sound intimidating. Luckily, this course walks you through each step of the planning and authoring process.
Finally, this course introduces writers to college admissions and scholarship essays. There is even an assignment and writing sample to help you draft your scholarship essay.
There are many resources on grammar and punctuation. This course does not explore them at great length. Instead, it hones in on the overarching issues that diverse learners, persons pursuing a high school equivalency diploma, and college students enrolled in remedial and introductory writing courses face.
