Like other scientists, medical researchers and clinicians must be capable of presenting their work to an audience of professional peers. Unlike many scientists, however, physicians must routinely translate their sophisticated knowledge into lay terms for their own patients and for the education of the public at large. A surprising number of physicians write for less utilitarian reasons as well, choosing the narrative essay as a means of exploring the non-technical issues that emerge in their clinical practice. Over the course of the semester, we will explore the full range of writings by physicians and other health practitioners.

This is an open course in noun clauses of English grammar. It starts with a lesson on the basics of nouns and then moves to a lesson on the basics of clauses. Then we put those things together and learn about noun clauses. Finally, we learn how to reduce a noun clause. If you already understand nouns and clauses, you can skip those topics, but they also may be useful to review before starting the more difficult material.
