Course/Activity Detail

Course Description Professor Bryan A. Garner provides the keys for making the most of your writing aptitude—in letters, memos, briefs, and more. The seminar covers five essential skills for persuasive writing: • framing issues that arrest the reader’s attention; • cutting wordiness that wastes the reader’s time; • using transitions deftly to make your argument flow; • quoting authority more effectively; and • tackling your writing projects more efficiently. Professor Garner teaches dozens of techniques that make a big difference. Most important, he shows what doesn’t work—and why—and how to cultivate skill.
