ESSAY WRITING CLASS


Wednesday, October 5
6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Instructor: Dr. Marilyn Fisher


Writing a formal expository essay clearly and coherently is often a required skill, both in the academic and professional worlds. The class will discuss the following topics. What is an essay? What are the most common rhetorical patterns used by thinkers and writers? How is an essay developed? What is the role of Internet research? And finally, what is a useful basic model for an essay, which once learned and practiced, can be applied to any situation where a serious response to a subject, using careful organization, correct choice of words, and well- written sentences is called for? Dr. Fisher and the class will look at several essays by well-known contemporary writers as examples.Class fee: $20.00. To register, please call Robyn Zandi at 371-0090 ext. 8510 or send an e-mail.
