    About this ebook

    This workbook accompanies the online course, College Writing 2.1x, the first of two courses offered by College Writing Programs of the University of California, Berkeley through edX.org. This workbook offers additional ways to practice writing, editing, and reviewing the materials for the online course. The workbook includes writing prompts, vocabulary lists, and editing exercises (with suggested answers).

    If you would like to purchase this workbook and are not taking the course, you may still find use for the materials. However, it should be noted that the course is offered free of charge, so you are welcome to join the live course. (You may also access the archived course at any time for self-study.) Information on how to do so and the website address are noted in the workbook's introduction.

    ***Note: This revised edition reflects the updated course content from November 2016.
