Most of us don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry too much about a writing mistake or two. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what we have to say that really matters, right?<\/p>\n
Well, yes \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and no.<\/p>\n
The bad news is that too many editing errors can keep our readers from taking us \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and our ideas \u00e2\u20ac\u201c seriously. The good news is that most of our errors are relatively easy to fix, once we figure out which ones we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re prone to make.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Sept. 21<\/strong>, Bill Jolliff<\/strong> (English) will identify the 10 errors that professors are most likely to mark on student work, and he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll demonstrate how to fix them. The session begins at 6:30 p.m.<\/strong> in Stevens 208<\/strong>. Faculty, please encourage students to attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most of us don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry too much about a writing mistake or two.
