Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this Columbia College Chicago Catalog; however, the Catalog is not a contract but rather a guide for the convenience of students. Columbia College Chicago reserves the right to change or withdraw courses; to change the fees, rules, and calendar for admission, registration, instruction, and graduation; and to change any of its policies or other provisions listed in the Catalog at any time.
This foundational course teaches students how to improve grammar, punctuation and spelling skills, while learning how to spot errors, correct English usage, sharpen copy’s clarity and conciseness, remedy inconsistencies and redundancies, and edit stories to meet generally accepted journalistic standards and Associated Press (AP) style.
