Language Skills
Writing is mean to inform, entertain, or convince the reader. It's a compare/contrast assignment, a persuasive essay, a report or a biography, chock full of good, well-attributed facts and convincing arguments. The mission of this class is to make you a better writer. By the time the semester is over, if you work hard, you should have a better grasp of writing fundamentals and be writing more effectively, clearly and concisely.
