Learn the necessary skills to survive a college writing course, gain confidence in your writing skills and become a successful scholar!
Many people are acquainted with some elements of composition, but not the necessary skills to succeed in a college level course. Why waste $200.00 – $400.00 on a college composition course only to fail and have to pay again to retake the course? You can successfully take this course for a fraction of the cost and then accomplish your goal in a college composition course!
The focus of this online class is to provide the student with the necessary skills needed to accomplish writing effective college and work essays. This will be accomplished by active participation in the lessons:
- Introduction Composition
- Composition and Research
- Research Process
- Compare and Contrast Process
- Critical Analysis Process
- Argumentative Process
This will provide you with more confidence in your writing skills, which in turn will improve your writing skills.
The writing process consists of several elements which include invention and free-writing. Other aspects are organization shelling, outlining, drafting, and revisions. Other areas of focus will be on clarity and supporting evidence for your thesis.

I have taken writing courses before, but never in college. I’m afraid it would have pulled my GPA down, because for some unknown reason I have never been able to master the art of writing. My problem usually lies with punctuation, and when to use who or whom. I was also told in English that I can’t build a paragraph. I’ve never forgotten those biting words. It would be helpful to know just because I want to. But the thought of building a website so everyone can see my work is what holds me back. I am not shy per se; it’s just that I don’t want to fool with it just noww.

Hi Sharon,
Just so you are aware, you don’t need to build a website to post your assignments. LVS offers a “Student Upload Area” and you could use that to upload your assignments to.
Kind regards,
Kat
