Instead of learning rules of grammar, learn what causes certain grammatical errors and then how to eliminate them. The course's error-based approach to teaching grammar models strategies to help you find your errors. Once you have found them, fixing them is usually easy.
In this independent study paper-based course, you submit assignments via e-mail to an instructor, who grades them and gives you feedback. The course manual comes with a CD that supplements course content. Textbook must be purchased separately. Take up to one year to complete.
