76-390: Style
¿Style¿ is a term used to describe the manner of expression in written language. To express yourself in a way that is fresh, original, and appropriate across audiences and situations, you need to be able to choose the right words, arrange them appropriately, and punctuate them in a way that controls pacing and emphasis. In helping you achieve these goals, this course will provide an opportunity for you to learn specific principles of style and examine the effects of stylistic variations. Working together, you will (1) derive a common vocabulary for discussing writing, (2) examine the effect of particular stylistic devices on readers, and (3) become better editors of your own writing and the writing of others. The course will benefit any writer who wishes to improve clarity, precision and coherence.
