      abstract = {Great writing begins--and ends--with the sentence.   Whether two words ("Jesus wept.") or 1,287 words (a  sentence in William Faulkner's Absalom! Absalom!),  sentences have the power to captivate, entertain, motivate,  educate, and, most importantly, delight.  Understanding the  variety of ways to construct sentences, from the smallest  clause to the longest sentence, is important to enhancing  your appreciation of great writing and potentially  improving your own.  This course applies the  sentence-oriented approach to studying writing and provides  a larger context for what makes sentences great.  Students  investigate how to recognize the mechanics of sentences,  how language works on thoughts and emotions, and learn  basic strategies to sharpen their ability to recognize  great sentences and make their own writing more effective.},
