WRT 350 Analytical Grammar

Spring Semester

Grammars – the systems that govern punctuation and syntax – are often applied to our writing with little regard for how such systems shape our words and our thinking. In this course, students learn grammar systems and rules based on how these systems work: how each system is governed by a particular logic and how each works with language to make meaning. Students evaluate, apply, and demonstrate the ways in which specific grammar systems are useful or problematic in different writing situations such as professional writing, journalism, editing, creative writing, digital writing and the teaching of writing.
