Course Title: Advanced Writing Skills
Admission Requirements and Scope
This course is available to all those who have successfully completed the short course, “Professional English Skills”, or the team-based “Essential Professional English” course, achieving a mark of 60% or higher. “Advanced writing skills” gives you the opportunity to apply yourself in attaining higher levels of skill in accurate and correct writing. It is based purely on hands-on development, relying on the interaction between lecturer and student.
The assignments undertaken are similar to those in the “Professional English Skills” course, but the advanced course is further personalised, and a higher level of mastery is expected. Aspects of style and tone can also be more closely addressed. There are four compulsory assignments:
Assignment 1 involves carefully criticising a few pages of the your own writing, after the lecturer has provided some guidelines relating to the writing.
Assignment 2 requires accurately editing the complex writing of another (provided by the lecturer).
Assignment 3 entails critically analysing extracts from a book on English usage and effective writing.
Assignment 4 involves appropriately using a selection of words.
To pass the course, you must successfully complete a practical examination assignment. Success will earn you a certificate affirming that you have successfully completed the MDL short course in “Advanced Writing Skills” through Cranefield College, and, should you achieve a distinction, this will be so indicated.
