Writing and Editing: Revising at Coursera Course details
- This fourth and final course in the ?Good with Words: Writing and Editing? series will help you master perhaps the most important step in the writing process: revising. You?ll learn about the difference between editing and proofreading. You?ll practice ?un-numbing the numbers? so that data and statistics you use are clear and compelling. And you?ll be introduced to a framework for giving and receiving feedback that helpfully systematizes what should be cut and what should be kept from each draft.
- As with the other three courses in this series, you will also get access to a wide range of books and other resources you can use even after you finish the course. These include:
- (1)the readings and exercises provided to the students who have taken the in-person version of this course at the University of Michigan and the University of Chicago;
- (2)two digital libraries of excellent writing from a diverse collection of journalists, scientists, novelists, poets, historians, and entrepreneurs;
- (3)a monthly ?Good Sentences? email.
