Posted by Nafisa M on 07/29/2024If you'd asked what sort of summer English class I needed, I probably would have said something like a class on how to craft a strong argument, analyze a passage deeply, or even write cohesive paragraphs. I would never have said, I want to learn how to write sentences. However, when I came across the description of this course, I was intrigued and decided to sign up--and I'm so happy that I did. After all, what is an effective argument or paragraph but well-written sentences strung together?
No matter why you write, this class will help you become a better communicator and give you a deeper appreciation for the nuances of language. You'll learn about different sentence styles and how they affect readers differently. You'll also study different types of sentences, like advertising slogans or first and last sentences in books. The assignments are a mixture of both analyzing sentences and crafting your own. Ms. Chan was also an amazing teacher. She gave wonderful, prompt feedback and was always so helpful whenever I had a question--even when it wasn't directly related to completing the assignment. I had so much fun and would definitely recommend this workshop!
5 Stars!!

The course focused on teaching advanced sentence structures, and I am amazed by the variety of sentence types I never knew existed. One of the aspects I appreciated most about this course was how it expanded my understanding of sentence construction. I learned about sentence types and styles that have enriched my writing toolkit. Ms. Chan’s teaching method was clear, engaging, and highly informative. The course was well-organized and thorough, covering all the promised content in a way that was easy to follow and apply. I grew a lot as a writer and feel more confident in crafting varied and sophisticated sentences. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to enhance their writing skills. Ms. Chan is an excellent instructor!

Posted by Andrew Bargen on 08/22/2023The workshop teaches writing not as a means to something else, but as valuable in and of itself. One of my main takeaways was that communication is innately a human pursuit. So, if you're a human, and communication is valuable to you, and you want to practice imitating some brilliant minds, then this is for you!
