      McGraw-Hill Connect has been adopted for the RMU Communications Skills classes to help students improve their grammar and punctuation. The RMU Communications Skills Grammar Trainer assignments are based on the errors that students are most likely to make in their writing (see the Top 20+ Errors handout posted under START HERE/ Course Documents, Handouts). The online program assesses students’ competency with grammar and punctuation as they work through the program and automatically creates a personalized learning experience to address identified deficiencies.The assignment is linked in the Week 4 folder, but you are welcome to begin once you have registered — registration information is given in a Word.doc linked under START HERE, and linked below.The assignment is worth 100 pts. A column in the Bb grade center will register your points when the program acknowledges “mastery” of an assignment. Successful completion/ mastery of the entire assignment will yield the full 100 pts.Click on the link below for registration instructions:  The file down here
